  • The Seagate Personal Cloud is a purpose built home storage solution, and as such both looks the part with its piano black exterior and game console footprint. The build quality of the enclosure is quite good, the materials used in the build appear to be ...

  • Abstract:  For simple setup and straightforward media sharing, Seagate's Personal Cloud has no peer. It even manages to register itself on the network without user intervention. If that were all there was to it, it would be a great product. But populated with a 3TB...

  • Simple design, Very versatile, Masses of storage, Allows data to be accessed anywhere on almost anything, Software is intuitive and attractive
  • A lot of money
  • It is fair to say the Seagate Personal Cloud 2 Bay impressed me greatly.The device has a simple and discrete design, providing a pair of USB ports if you want them (1x USB 3.0 and 1x USB 2.0) but other than that, there is no fancy embellishment. It is not...
