[Review]Seagate GoFlex Home 1TB

I always want to have an external hardisk which could help me save most of videos,musics and documents separately from my PCs.The one with Ethernet port would be my preference as it could be accessed through my intranet(LAN network) easily.Compared with a large group of similar products,Seagate GoFlex Home seems like pricing very fairly.Yesterday I bought one from Lowyat Plaza and here’s my review.

It’s actually mixed with 2 parts:1 Seagate GoFlex Desk hardisk and 1 network base.The hardisk is upgradable,so if you want to have more capacity,you could buy another piece of Seagate GoFlex Desk(currently up to 3TB) with larger capacity to replace the existing one.On the network base,there are one Gigabit Ethernet port and a USB 2.0 port.with limitation of my router which only has 4 100M Ethernet ports,both read and write speed are limited to 10.8 MB/s,closer to highest theoretical speed of 100Mbps Ethernet port.The USB 2.0 port could be adopted as a printer server or another option to add more capacity by connecting to another external hard disk.

Seagate and Western Digital are the giants in the hard disk industry.However,Seagate recently has to face a lot of noises about the firmware issues which has caused the company lose some market shares.Well,Seagate is trying the best to maintain the reputation by introducing new products,including the fastest 2.5 inch 7200 RPM hard disk-Seagate Momentus XT.

Basically,it is a 7200RPM hard disk with 32MB cache and 4GB SLC NAND solid state memory.Seagate applies Adaptive Memory™ technology to utilize the solid state memory when it’s necessary.The performance will be improved by normal usages and also boost the boot speed.

I did some simple tests using HD Tune.Here are the snapshots.

ST95005620AS(1)ST95005620AS(2)ST95005620AS(3)The pics show the read speed,the health of the disk and I/O speed.You will find the figures maybe are quite similar with other 2.5 inch 7200RPM hard disks because the SSM can’t be utilized in such kinds of tests and so no enhancements for the overall figures.In fact,you can see the real differences between Seagate Momentus 7200.4 conventional hard dish and this Seagate Momentus XT hybrid hard disk.

The price of this hard disk is almost 1.5 times than the normal 500GB 2.5 inch 7200RPM hard disk,but if you always eager to save your time on opening files or loading some programs,this new product from Seagate will give what you want for your laptop.I enjoy it! 微笑

I’ve planned for getting a portable hard drive for years to back-up important files,pictures recording my memories,wonderful movies and nice songs.Furthermore,I wish the external hard disk could do things simple and smart so that I could restore my system whenever I need without any trouble.

Seagate finally makes this kind of products.Seagate Replica is a very new product which has a sharp outlook and a smart ‘mind’.It could automatically back-up the whole system when you connect it into PCs.I think it will be an impressive product for people lacking of time and knowledge to deal with it.

Let’s have a close look!

I bought it at Lowyat Plaza,Kuala Lumpur,costing me RM369(USD115).I think the 5-year warranty and the good reputation of Seagate is worth the price.How do you think?

I’m happily using it. :)
