Wow…talk about skinny! Seagate's new GoFlex Slim portable hard drive is about the width of a pencil, measuring in at a mere 9mm, 2.5–inches. Designed with ultra-thin laptops and netbooks in mind, the GoFlex Slim is 38 percent leaner than the current GoFlex ultra–portable drives and features a 7200RPM drive and USB3.0, offering transfer speeds up to 10x faster than USB2.0. Backup software is also included.

The new GoFlex Slim can be used with Windows and Mac computers interchangeably, with absolutely no performance loss. However, Seagate will also be offering a version specifically for Mac OS X computers. The GoFlex Slim for Mac portable drive will be HFS+ formatted out–of–the–box, making it compatible with Apple Time Machine backup software, while still being able to work across both Windows and Mac OS X computers.

The new GoFlex Slim portable hard drive is available now on www.seagate.com. A 320GB version GoFlex Slim sells for $99.99. The 320GB version of the GoFlex Slim for Mac drive will be available in May at Apple Stores for $99.

Seagate last week announced that its Seagate TV Remote application is now available for download from the iTunes Store. The new Seagate TV Remote app allows you to control your GoFlex TV or FreeAgent Theater+ from anywhere in the home using an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch via Wi-Fi. Also, because the app leverages the home Wi-Fi network, there is no need for line-of-sight between the HD media player and the controller, allowing it to be used anywhere within the home.

Current owners of Seagate's media players will be able to use the keyboard on their Apple mobile device to search YouTube, Netflix and Pandora, simply by pressing an onscreen button. With the TV Remote app, people can now see a display of all the files stored on the external hard drives connected to GoFlex TV or FreeAgent Theater+ HD media players. It also allows the navigation of photos stored on the Apple mobile device in order to send them over the network to the drive attached to either media player. The photos will be saved to the drive and automatically displayed on the TV in full resolution. The TV Remote app will work with every Seagate media player on the network and will automatically scan a Wi-Fi network for any available GoFlex TV or FreeAgent Theater+ HD media players. Read more
