Seagate has released their latest portable hard drive, the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex, which comes with cables that allow it to connect to almost every interface, including USB 2.0, USB 3.0, FireWire 800 and eSATA.
The FreeAgent GoFlex portable HDD also promises up to 10 times of speeds in transferring large files and HD contents. This portable HDD is also able to pair with the Seagate Net Media sharing device, to let it work like a NAS, allowing your files to be shared across the network with your co-workers or family.
The FreeAgent GoFlex is housed in a glossy black casing, has dimensions of 112×82x14mm and weighs 160g (for the 500GB version).

With all the flexible connections, these Seagate HDDs will come with relatively higher prices than competing products.
