New Update

Digital content is one of the most precious if not the most precious of man's necessities and it needs storage. When Hard Drives were first introduced they offered 80 GB to 160 GB space. As our data storage requirement increased we stirred to 500 GB hard drives, which appeared enormous until Seagate introduced GoFlex with 1 TB space. GoFlex Desk is world's first 3TB portable hard drive and is compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0.

Seagate GoFlex Desk 3TB unlike its predecessor GoFlex and Goflex Pro has a fixed base with a dotted upper body. It is light weight and appears like a simple looking rectangular box. The model which we got was in black color. The base has USB 2.0 adapter with capacity gauge. The USB 2.0 port and power are placed together on the side panel.

GoFlex Desk comes with a USB 2.0 port in the box, but can be upgraded to USB 3.0 by purchasing the relevant adapter. The device gets recognized instantly when connected to windows or mac. We tested the drive by transferring data in real-time. To file a 700MB single file from a PC, it took 42sec, while a mix of files sized at 30 GB took just 30min. Meanwhile, moving data from the GoFlex Desk to PC is faster as 700MB file took 22sec and 30 GB took 16min.
