SEAGATE FREEAGENT DOCKSTAR NETWORK ADAPTER REVIEW PORTABLE

It allows the FreeAgent Goв„ў portable hard drive to be added to a network, giving access to its content from anywhere within or outside of the home, as well as allowing for selective sharing of files with friends and family. The DockStar network adapter reinvents how people think of anywhere access and the concept of sharing their digital files.

Increasingly, people are enjoying the benefits of being always connected, yet there still remains a gap in easily connecting people back to their content at home and sharing it with others. SeptemExtending the company's line of easy-to-use storage solutions that help people enjoy, share and store their digital content, Seagate (NASDAQ: STX) today announced the next evolution of network storage вЂ“ FreeAgent DockStarв„ў network adapter, an amazingly simple way to access and share your digital content with anyone from anywhere. THE EASIEST WAY TO SHARE AND ACCESS YOUR DIGITAL MEDIA ANYTIME, ANYWHERE SEAGATE INTRODUCES FREEAGENT DOCKSTARв„ў NETWORK ADAPTER: Too bad no pricing or release details are available on those, but we'll be keeping an eye out. In addition to the 250GB, 320GB, 500GB and 640GB versions already out there, the range will now include a 750GB, 880GB and 1TB version.

In related news, Seagate is also introducing three new capacities for its FreeAgent Go family. Oh, and we should mention that it comes with a year of the Pogoplug service, but after that, you'll be shelling out $29.99 per year for unlimited sharing and remote access. For those who'd rather opt for a Seagate'd version of an already available product, this DockStar is shipping today for $99.99. We've yet to have a chance to put this bugger through its paces, but since we know all about the underlying technology, you can probably learn everything you need to know from our Pogoplug review. Thankfully, a trifecta of USB 2.0 sockets are littered about the edges, ensuring that at least three standard USB drives can also be connected and accessed over the web. Without getting into too much detail, this simple dock is essentially a Pogoplug with a built-in cradle for one's FreeAgent Go USB (read: not FireWire) HDD. Hard to believe this is Seagate's first consumer NAS offering (keyword being ' consumer'), but sure enough, the FreeAgent DockStar is the company's first major effort to get its own line of FreeAgent Go hard drives onto your network.
