The Seagate Satellite wireless storage device was great to play with in our testing. It was easy to setup and easy to connect to all our devices. Streaming was fast to our devices and had very little load time once you selected your media to play or wa...
Coming into this review, I had never used a device similar to the Seagate GoFlex Satellite, with its extreme portability, large storage, and wireless connectivity. I even had my own questions of how “useful” something like this would really be, and wo...

Formatted NTFS, so while Windows users can plug and play, Mac users will need to load some utilities first
Extremely small and lightweight – you can keep it in your pocket and forget it's there, Nice large capacity means you can store a LOT and access it whenever you need to, Included car charger is a welcome bonus
Some issues with transferring files to an iOS device for use when not connected to the GoFlex, The glossy black finish is a magnet for fingerprints, No way to access the internet on whatever device is connected to it
Wirelessly streams up to 3 HD movies simultaneously, Can be used as a normal 500GB hard drive to store contents, Rechargeable battery includes a tiny car adapter
Cannot simultaneously connect to the net and the hard drive, Can't access stored content wirelessly from a native iOS apps such as iTunes; won't behave like a USB host device, Battery life is questionable
It's a stellar wired hard drive that happens to boast a wireless connection when you need it. So th...
