No included battery power adapter, Limited media file support, TechwareLabs Gold Award
I know I referenced the Seagate GoFlex Satellite several times throughout the review of the new Wireless Plus, but I felt it was important to know where this product was to appreciate how far it’s come. At $199, the Wireless Plus costs $20 over its pr...
App needs more development and UI improvements, Slow battery charge time
The Seagate Wireless Plus provides users with an additional 1TB of untethered media capacity to use with smartphones and tablets. At the $199 price point, the device is reasonable with its increased performance and value compared to the option of buying t...
Speedy over USB 3.0 interface, Allows you to connect wirelessly to drive and Web at same time, Supports DLNA streaming
Slow Wi-Fi speeds, Web interface lacks advanced features, No built-in user manual, Limited streaming connections supported
A Wi-Fi-enabled 1TB external hard drive, the Wireless Plus has promise for multi-user media streaming—but make sure you really need the wireless features (and can make peace with the GUI) before you buy. ...

App won't play MKV or AVI files on either Android or iOS devices, Mac users have to install NTFS driver, Battery life is a bit shorter than advertised, Ugly, The price tag—$200 is rather steep for a commodity product
Do you feel like you need this much space? Wireless Plus is a good product, but its for people who need more than 64GB of stuff with them all the time. If youre a creative professional—a film editor, an architect, or a designer—or you travel a lot, its...
