We live in a world where a 1.5TB Seagate Baracuda hard drive costs only $95
Posted on June 22, 2010 | No CommentsStarting off your Tuesday with a quick deal. Amazon has a 1.5TB Seagate Baracuda (7200RPM, SATA II, 32MB cache) for $95—a full $100 off the regular price. Could make a fine storage drive, you know, for all those “digital photos” you have. Pretty sure “digital photos” is codeword for Blu-ray rips and the like. -

Seagate confirms its working on a 3TB hard drive set for a 2010 launch
Posted on May 17, 2010 | No Comments
A few weeks back a story broke about Seagate's plan to release a 3TB 3.5mm hard drive this year. Well, apparently that's the case although if your system happens to be running a 32-bit OS like XP, you're going to be out of luck. This drive, and any other hard drive larger than 2.1TB, will require the a modified versions of Linux or the 64-bit version of Windows 7 or Vista. Sorry, kids. It's time to upgrade.

Western Digital has sold more hard drives this year than Seagate
Posted on May 13, 2010 | No Comments
Five hundred and fifty eight million hard drives were shipped in 2009. Think about that for a moment. Five hundred and fifty eight million. Of those, 175.2 million (or 31.4%) carried the Seagate brand name while 165.2 million came from Western Digital. According to The Information Network, WD pulled ahead in the first quarter of 2010, selling 51.1 million hard drives compared to Seagate's 50.3 million sold. I guess that's big news, if you're really into hard drives, or have strong brand loyalty to the drive in your computer. Me, I don't care so much.

How to use the Seagate Dockstar on a LAN without Pogoplug
Posted on May 6, 2010 | No Comments
Our readers are awesome. They are always trying to help. For instance we just got an email explaining the process needed to get the Seagate Dockstar to work on a local network without using Pogoplug. Here, let me give you the back story.
I originally reviewed the Seagate Dockstar a while ago an found it to be a nifty little device hampered by the fact that you must use the online sharing service Pogoplug. It's essetually a Pogoplug dock, really. You can use the dock on your local network with any USB drive, but only if you activate local network access on Pogoplug's website. Totally lame in my opinion. It truly limits the appeal of the device. Anyway, this is where reader Matt T. comes in. He has solved my problem and came up with a solution that unlocks the dock with the help of a little text file on a connected drive.

A rant: The Seagate Freeagent GoFlex system has major downsides
Posted on May 5, 2010 | No CommentsJohn gave us a quick look at Seagate’s attempt at reinventing the external hard drive yesterday. His hands-on video is here, but the concept is simple enough. It’s an external hard drive with a native SATA port on the rear side where different proprietary cables convert the interface into USB 2.0, USB 3.0, eSATA, and [...] -

Seagate just made the already-potent FreeAgent Theater+ a bit more powerful. A firmware is now available that adds Netflix, YouTube, Medifly, and vTuner along with a host of small user-interface changes to the player. All users need to do is run the automated update if the device is connected to the Internet or download it from Seagate. Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.

Seagate teams with Paramount pictures, pre-loads DRM-laced movies onto FreeAgent Go portable hard drives

The thought here is to offer consumers an alternative source for movie content and so select FreeAgent Go portable will soon come with 21 of Paramount’s best flicks. But of course these movies aren’t free. Nope, while they are actually pre-loaded on the drive, they cost between $10 [...] -
eSATA is faster than USB 3.0 — at least right now
Posted on February 5, 2010 | No Comments
Most hardware manufacturers are finally rolling out USB 3.0 devices. We've seen motherboards, hubs, hard drives, and notebooks all rocking the new and improved USB standard. It's clearly the future of USB with backwards compatibility, dramatically faster speeds and full-duplex data transfers. That's great, but it's still not faster than eSATA right now.
