Seagate GoFlex Storage for Third-Party Manufacturers

Seagate has announced at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, a new programme to allow third-party companies to incorporate slots on their products to support removable GoFlexT external hard drives. First introduced in May of 2010, the GoFlexT family is the next evolution of consumer external hard drives providing the ability to use an assortment of storage products and interfaces to correspond with consumer's needs.

"When Seagate first introduced the GoFlexT storage family last year, our objective was two pronged: first, address the three major hurdles of storage adoption - interface flexibility, operating system freedom and enjoyment of content beyond the compute environment. Secondly, Seagate wishes to expand the use of storage beyond the typical use-case scenario of back up and migration of files for the computer," said Patrick Connolly, VP & GM, Seagate Retail. "The Certified GoFlexT Storage System is the next step in realizing this vision and establishing GoFlexT drives as the next generation of recordable media."

Since the GoFlex ultra-portable drives are also standardized on the new SATA USMT specification, third-party manufacturers can build GoFlex certified products to accept a 2.5-inch ultra-portable external hard drive. These third-party products will help transform the GoFlex ultra-portable drives from an external storage device to an easy-to-use, detachable storage module that will enable consumers to access digital content from a variety of consumer electronic devices
