Section: Macintosh / Apple Hardware, Peripherals, External and Portable Storage Devices

Seagate GoFlex for Mac

Seagate has introduced a new collection of GoFlex for Mac external drives that, as they claim, address “... the personal preferences of the Mac community.” The drives make it easy for Time Machine users to back up, shuttle and share their digital content. The new products are being showcased and demoed this week at Macworld Expo in San Francisco.

These new portable and desktop solutions are HFS+ formatted out-of-the-box, making them fully compatible with Apple Time Machine� backup software, while maintaining the ability to work across both Microsoft� Windows� and Mac OS X computers. A truly unique feature, GoFlex for Mac drives can also be used with computers running Windows by simply downloading an HFS+ driver for Windows from Seagate.com, which will provide full read-write access to the drive from a Windows computer.

Each GoFlex for Mac product comes bundled with FireWire� 800 and USB 2.0 adapters and cables?the most popular interfaces for Apple computers?but also delivers the flexibility to change the drive?s interface to USB 3.0 or powered eSATA for use with Windows computers. The GoFlex? interface cables help deliver the speed, performance and connectivity people need, as well as to help safe guard their investments against changing technology. To deliver a fresh look that fits seamlessly with today?s Apple product line, each 2.5-inch, ultra-portable drive in the family features a durable, soft-touch, metallic finish, which is also designed to withstand scratches, fingerprints or other marks incurred from travel.


The new line-up of GoFlex for Mac external drives includes:

  • GoFlex for Mac ultra-portable drive - $199.99 for 1TB, and $249.99 for 1.5TB.
  • GoFlex for Mac Limited Edition ultra-portable drive - $199.95 for 1TB.
  • GoFlex Pro for Mac ultra portable - $179.99 for 750GB.
  • GoFlexTM Desk for Mac drive - $219.99 for 2TB; $279.99 for 3TB.


GoFlex for Mac drives can be used with other devices in the GoFlexStorage System, such as the GoFlex Net media sharing device and the GoFlex TV HD media player. There is also an option to download additional software for use with all GoFlex for Mac drives that will provide helpful utilities such as a control to turn the activity lights off and a tool to verify that the drive is functioning properly.
