The Seagate GoFlex Satellite Review Performance. This device is a Data warehouse solutions style that is practical for cloud computing gadgets. Knowingly or not, a digital activity we do every day would need space for data, both a memory card and a hard drive. Just take a look at the internal memory capacity of your mobile phone is increasingly shrinkage due to various activities, such as downloading various files from the Internet or via a camera to record images. This also applies to a computer tablet that is now trending.
Rather than having to add a memory card, it might be better if utilize other storage space to hundreds of GB capacity. To meet that demand, Seagate presents the GoFlex Satellite series that not only serves as an external hard drive but also serves as a wireless data storage. In this way, the gadget can be connected to the storage GoFlex Satellite to pick up or put the data that is too large. This is done wirelessly from anywhere. Quite interesting is not it?
Well, to be able to work without a cable connection, Satellite GoFlex features wireless 802.11b/g/n. As data storage, use SATA hard drives 2.5″ and also a rechargeable battery (Lithium polymer) as an independent power supply. For conventional use, users stay plugged into a USB 3.0 device to be accessed via a computer. Meanwhile, if accessed via a network, users simply press the power button. Unfortunately, the connection must be chosen between a wired or Wi-Fi. So you will not be able to use both types of connections at once.
In addition to access from Windows and Mac-based computers, GoFlex Satellite can also be accessed from a smartphone or tablet computer with IOS and Android systems. For that, users must install the GoFlex Media application which is available for free in each market. For those who wear computers, they could directly access this device via browser by entering the address www.goflexsatellite.com after connections were created.
Connections to this device wirelessly can be done within a distance of about 30-40 meters. Three devices can be connected simultaneously to GoFlex Satellite simultaneously. In the standby state, GoFlex Satellite can last all day. Meanwhile, when accessed by a streaming device, GoFlex Satellite can last up to 5 hours.
We feel great usefulness when utilizing storage for cloud computing services like these. With wireless connections, mobile devices now will be able to take advantage of the large-capacity GoFlex Satellite.
