Your Movie Library on the Go – A First Look at the Seagate GoFlex Satellite Wireless Hard Drive Review

Posted on by

Part I – Seagate GoFlex Satellite First Impressions Over the years our digital libraries have grown quite large. The accumulation of audio, video and picture files prevents any one portable device from being able to store it all.

Admittedly, I am a WHS enthusiast, blogger and podcaster and have a vested interested in the product.  In November, Microsoft pulled the Drive Extender (DE) functionality from the product and left the WHS community reeling.  Much of this has
