GoFlex Satellite

Seagate just announced GoFlex Satellite, the first battery-powered external hard drive to wirelessly extend the storage capacity of your iPad or other Wi-Fi enabled mobile device.

GoFlex Satellite offers Wi-Fi access over 802.11 b/g/n networks and features 500GB of storage – large enough to hold an entire library of video, music, pictures and documents. Up to three Wi-Fi devices can be wirelessly connected (at the same time) to the GoFlex Satellite drive using the free GoFlex Media app –available on iTunes and the Apple App Store–or a web browser. Its rechargeable battery offers up to 5 hours of use.

GoFlex Satellite is available for preorder now from Seagate.com, Amazon and BestBuy.com for $199.99, and is scheduled to arrive in Best Buy stores in July 2011.
