Tips: GoFlex adapter is more flexible than you think.


We all have tons of data needed backed up everyday, there are different ways, but for a quick and hassle free data back up I still prefer the good old external hard drive. There are many different types of external hard drives and different makes.

I personally prefer Seagate GoFlex portable drive, because it doesn't require external power and the clever interchangeable adapter interface allows much quick transfer speed than the traditional USB 2.0 drives, I have 3 adapters plus the stock USB 2.0 adapter come with the drive, I use FireWire 800 adapter with my MacBook Pro at home, I also use the eSATA adapter with my home PC and the USB 3.0 adapter with a Windows laptop. This allows much faster transfer speed for file to be copied across to different places.

IT DOESN'T JUST STOP HERE! The GoFlex drive itself uses a SATA socket, so all these adapters mentioned above will also work with any portable SATA hard drives, if you are like me, have a few of these drives lying around, just connect them use the adapter and wait for the magic to happen. I've tried using the FireWire 800 adapter with a Seagate Momentus XT drive and IT IS FASTER.

Ye, why don't you give it a try?
