Seagate Shipping World's First 3TB Storage Device
By: TechBriefTeam  |  2010-07-02  |  

Hard drive and storage device maker Seagate Technology announced this week that has made available the industry's first 3TB desktop storage device, a new version of its popular FreeAgent GoFlex.

Seagate's FreeAgent GoFlex 3TB, priced at $249, features 3.5-inch HHD platters and a USB 2.0 interface. USB 3.0, while now available, is not in widespread use at this point.

Larger-capacity disks are invariably slower-moving, so users who want to speed up data flow between a PC and the new storage device will need to obtain a desktop adapter. Choices include USB 3.0 bundled with a PCIe x1 USB 3.0 card ($79), FireWire or USB 2.0 ($49), or straight USB 3.0 ($39).
