The editors didn't like
I hope USB 3.0 is included and not an extra in Future Products
Bundled Memeo AutoSync software is 30 day trial
Only a 2 year warranty
Need to purchase separate connection adapters
Have to carry cables and adapters for different scenarios
Adapter kits can be costly ($39.99 and higher)
No AES encryption
Limited back-up software included
The included software doesn’t integrate well with Macs.
Adapters sold separately
Included backups software is lacking
GoFlex adapters are proprietary and expensive
GoFlex TV interface
Features now very typical
GoFlex Desk's automated Windows backup app isn't free
3TB needs a newer OS and firmware
Or special support.
The price is absurdly high
As is the price on all new tech
There's a slight stability issue because of the shrunken footprint
Only 7200 rpms – not a true negative
But you know faster ones will be coming soon
Out of the box
The Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk has only a USB 2.0 connection
Other connection adapters cost extra. The drive topples easily when used in the intended vertical position
Interchangeable between USB 2.0, USB 3.0, eSATA and Firewire, Fast transfer speeds
Other cable options are pricey extras
Seagate's innovative multi-interface approach saves the GoFlex from being just another USB 2.0 external hard drive, but you'll pay handsomely for the flexibility of choice.

Сменные модули интерфейсов. Возможность подключения к мультимедиаустройствам Seagate, вроде TV HD Media Player и Net Media Sharing Device.
Адаптеры не всегда соответствуют цветами накопителя. За адаптеры придется доплатить. В комплект входят только демоверсия Memeo Premium
