It's not often we get excited about a hard disk, but when it's the world's first 4TB hard disk then we'll make an exception. Sadly, the GoFlex Desk is an external USB3 desktop disk rather than an internal disk that could be fitted inside a server, but it'...

At 6p per gigabyte, the 4TB Seagate GoFlex Desk isn't extortionately priced for a first-of-its-kind massive capacity disk. It's not suitable for all projects and it's not quite as fast as we'd like, but if you need 4TB of storage in one box and can liv...

We haven’t seen a terabyte-sized portable drive before, and it looks as if Seagate has struggled to squeeze the capacity into this package: the 1TB GoFlex has a bulging design, and at 22mm high it cuts a distinctly stout figure compared with the 500GB...

A typical external drive combines a hard disk with a USB controller, but Seagate’s GoFlex system splits the components into two separate pluggable modules. This approach lets you upgrade the hard disk without buying a new controller, or move up to a fa...

For anybody who thinks all external hard drives are the same, you've clearly never seen Seagate's GoFlex range. GoFlex's ports are built into a removable section that plugs into the main body of the drive using a SATA connector. This can be replaced with...
