僕の使い方としては
①
iTunesのデータの保存
※そうする事で外出先でもiTunesのデータを回覧できます。
アルバムアートワークを設定すればiPhone、iPadなどの回覧時に表示されます。
②
通勤中・移動中・出張中等でもバッグに入れておけばボタン一つで映画を楽しめます
Wi-Fi内蔵型なので周りに無線LAN環境の無い場所でも問題なく使えます。
※インターネットへの接続は他のWi-Fiが必要になります。
<改善点>
もう少しコンパクトになればさらに良いです。
実際向こうでの販売価格は、$199.99-とshipping & handling($10-位)なので、
トータルとして、$210-位となります。
あまりに¥29,000-オーバーとは差異があるように感じます。。。
ちなみに商品とは別に、iPhone/iPAD用のソフトウェアをAPP Storeでダウンロードして
おく必要があります。
また元々USでの販売商品ですので、基本全て英語です。
(8/3の時点で、AppStoreで11ヶ国言語に対応したアップデートが入りました。日本語にも対応。)
なお、上記の状況(実際日本向けに対応させた商品ではない)の為、★4とさせて頂きます。
少ない容量をサポートしてくれると思って買ったので、アプリで対応を待ってます。
goflex自身をルータにする仕様で、ドライブのホームページから間接的に接続するWi-Fi接続先を指定することができます。
WPA2-PSKのような長いキーには対応しきれていないようですが、WEP128では簡単に接続することができました。
そのうち、WPSで簡単につながるようになるかもしれませんね。
とにかく3GのないiPadなどでインターネットが利用できるようになって嬉しいです。
なんだかWi-fiが切れやすい気がします。
しかし新しいコンセプトの商品ですから、一発目としては及第点なのではないでしょうか。
この商品のデータから改良版が出たり、他社類似製品が出るのはまだ先になるでしょうが「時は金なり」、私は今欲しいので購入してよかったと思っています。
我が家での使い方は2歳前の子供を出先で騒ぐのでおとなしくさせるのに、
本製品に動画を入れておいて、奥さんのiPadや私のiPhoneで動画再生すると言う感じです。^^
合計金額、明らかに本国のサイトで買ったほうが安いんだけど。。。
一番のネックは、コストパフォーマンス、今、500では足りなくなるのは時間の問題。それにしては、値段が高すぎる。Amazon.comでも、評判は悪く、販売会社のHomepageでも☆の少ないカスタマーには、販売会社が懸命にコメント、回答をしている。アイデアとしては非常に惹かれるものだが、1)WIFI切り替えがおそすぎる、2)重い、3)デザインの悪さ、4)コストがかかりすぎるなどの問題解決が急務だ。日本の会社から、全うな日本らしい機種が出ることが望ましい。まだ、買いどきではない。

I have 2xPCs, an Android tablet (which is where I intend to use it the most), a nice little wifi setup with a couple of NAS units and assorted smartphones. I don't have any Apple products as Í'm not a fan. What I wanted it for was so that I could stream my media to my tablet on planes etc (basically I'm a traveller) so that I wouldn't be reliant on what the plane carries in the way of entertainment. As a secondary function, I wanted a hard drive that I could connect to other peoples computers wherever I'm headed so that I can use it as a file storage.
.
I had been looking at it for some time. The fact that it's marketed directly at Apple users (like a lot of products these days) was a bit off putting but I'd done my "due diligence" and so wasn't worried. BTW All manufacturers should note that there is a whole segment of the market that DON'T use Apple. I find this whole one-eyed approach kinda annoying.
.
It seems to me that Seagate have actually been taking notice of user concerns and upgrading the product as they go. Fortunately I appear to have gotten the upgraded version. Here's what I found:
- Not having an Ipad or in fact anything Apple allowed me to neatly sidestep all of the issues that Apple users were complaining of.
- Several people complained of issues after upgrading the firmware (which Seagate recommend). I didn't have any issues whatsoever.
- Several other people complained of no USB connection. Mine came with a USB 3 micro B adaptor (the Goflex SATA connections are on the unit by default). Having never seen USB 3 before, it took me a while to work out that it would also work with my "standard" USB 2 micro B cable (including drawing power down the cable). It's relatively clumsy having an adaptor but understandable given that this is a part of the Goflex range. I'd also note that the manual shows an adaptor with a fixed cable connected which is obviously an earlier adaptor type. All this took a while to work out but ended up okay so no complaints there.
- Then there's the software. You use this like Windows explorer to access the media. It's not as bad as everyone makes out but having said that, when you're used to NAS units on a LAN like I am, having some huckery software in the middle is pretty crummy. In an ideal world, Seagate should junk the software and allow access like a NAS. The software is also used to configure setup information like SSID and Password and I think it should be restricted to just doing this. Seagate Take note!
- A minor disappointment was the videos on how to set things up. They're recorded in m4v format on the drive. To my surprise, I found that that the codec pack I'm using wouldn't play them. Fortunately my Android tablet didn't have a problem so I didn't miss out.
- It is early days yet but one thing I am considering for the future is a hard drive upgrade. SSDs are coming down in price and have the benefits of less weight, lower power consumption and increased robustness (dropping a spinning drive is definitely something to avoid). All things that are a benfit to a traveller.
In summary, I am reasonably happy with my purchase. The software is a definite downside as is the external USB 3 micro B adaptor (but I can learn to live with that). I'd hope that Seagate will continue to improve it as it's a worthwhile product. I think the whole thing is a great idea but having said that, I also think there's plenty of room for improvement.
If you are considering purchasing the Goflex Satellite, the only thing I can say is this; It's a solid product and I'd definitely recommend it. It seems more suited towards non-Apple equipment and if you fit into that category (like me) then you'll be ok.
ADDENDUM
just completed my first trip carrying the Go flex Satellite. Unfortunately I discovered that airlines do not permit operating any RF generating devices (specifically wifi and Bluetooth) on board the aircraft. I'm pretty sure that that won't last as I know that QANTAS are experimenting with providing Ipads to first class passengers AND also onboard wifi.
Even with this minor setback, the unit ran just fine (no, I didn't switch it on mid-flight. Crashing and burning isn't on my bucket list). I did have some issues with movies resetting back to the start but I'm not yet sure what to make of that.
One definite hiccup that I found was that there is no battery level indicator anywhere. I found this out when the movie I was watching suddenly stopped. Upon investigation I found that the Goflex had switched off so I promptly turned it back on. It lasted another 30 seconds before switching off again. I can live without this feature but it was disappointing to find out the hard way. It's also quite surprising given that battery level indicators have been around since Robbie the Robot.
ADDENDUM 2
I'm a little bit more experienced with this unit now so I just wanted to add a little info to my review. This model has been superseded by the Seagate Wireless Plus so if you're considering purchasing, you need to look there or perhaps the Western Digital version. I've belatedly discovered that the Plus has a battery meter in it so its automatically a step up from this unit.
I also wanted to add that I experimentally powered this unit up while in flight with no issues. Naturally I was ready to shut it down the moment that anything started looking screwy but it never did. The whole setup worked perfectly, we didn't crash and burn and no-one was the wiser. This probably wasn't surprising given that American Airlines aircraft offer commercial wifi access on many routes.
OK, so let's get into specifics. I updated the firmware of the device, which does allow the passthrough of your wireless, which is nice. Otherwise, you'd have to disconnect from the satellite to access the internet. Also, I installed the GoFlex Media software on both my iPhone and iPad. I charged the satellite until the light turned green. I also purchased the firewire upgrade cable as my machine only has USB 2 and firewire 800 is faster. I hooked up the drive to my mac running 10.8.2 and reformatted per the instructions on Seagate's site(I'm a mac guy, so no need for NTFS). I then copied a movie file to the device and disconnected to turn it on for the first time and join the wireless network it creates with my iPhone. At first, the file kept saying it wasn't a recognizable file format. I can't remember exactly what I did, but eventually I got the file to play.
OK, 1 file plays, let's see about moving my large music library over. I decided to use the Seagate Media Sync software as I figured it might give me more options and eventually be a good way to do automatic syncs. It took a while, but eventually, all my music was on the drive. I disconnected the drive, turned it on and joined with my iPhone. Tapped on the music icon and all I saw was like 400 songs under unknown, then a message music can't be viewed, try later. HUH? It then sent me back to the root of the menu. I tapped the music icon again, this time more music, but still unknown still kicked out with error.
Time to do some research. I found a few articles saying to connect the drive to computer, show hidden files. Delete what appears to be a database file. Disconnect, then start up device so that it can recreate it. Same thing happened after all of this. More research. It seems the drive takes a very long time to create this database file, and there's no real indication of progress...or when it's done. Lastly, I tried using the GoFlex Exporter for iTunes. This wouldn't even install, with an error of "Can't make current application into type <<class movW>>. I'm gonna chalk this up to old software not ready for 10.8(Mountain Lion).
This is where I'm at right now. I have seen from other reviews that Seagate is reading these reviews and replying quite frequently. Hopefully mine is read because I have a few suggestions. First, get a real iOS developer to redo the interface for GoFlex Media. It's just not very intuitive and requires too many taps. Also, use the iPod plugin Apple provides for playback of supported files as it maintains the illusion that your library is on the local device. Also, it looks better this way. Obviously, something has to be done about the database creation/updating. I suggest that as part of the sync process, there also should be a progress bar of database creation/update. Also, when files are not copied for whatever reason as part of the sync, there should be a way for you to see what didn't copy so a user can determine if some setting needs to be changed or if it's an issue with the filetype, etc. Again, I'm pretty sure the media sync software was ported over from Windows. Put a real mac developer on this as it's just not very mac-like.
All this seems like I don't like this product...and right now, there isn't a lot to like. But the idea is very good and I think the experience can be fixed, because it seems to be mostly a software problem. I think iOS users can really benefit from this device if the software is brought up to speed. Do that and I promise more 5 star, than 1 star reviews. Right now I give it 2 stars, 1 being for it's potential. The potential is why I will keep it, for now.
BTW, if there are suggestions about something I'm doing wrong, please advise
Update 12/5/12
OK, so a couple of weeks have passed since I've had this device. There are a couple things that have changed or that I've noticed. With large libraries you should leave the device hooked up overnight to your computer, turned on, after sync. This allows the device time to build the database. I still don't see album art consistently, even though I have forced iTunes to get all album artwork and it shows up there. I still think this might be handled better if the iPod plugin was used instead of the native player within the seagate software was used. Also, the way artists songs are organized is kind of annoying. Instead of being organized by album/track#, everything is alphabetical. I may not be explaining this properly, but anyone who's used the native ipod software vs the seagate player knows what I mean. The alphabetical scroll on the right side of the window is too cramped to select a letter accurately. The search definitely helps, but shouldn't be necessary.
A weird bug I found is that while music is playing, my iphone screen won't sleep. If I click the power button on the phone to force the sleep, the music stops after a couple seconds. If I exit the software before clicking the button, music continues to play. Also, while connected to the device's wireless, I can't use my cell service for internet access. this means I have to disconnect from my media if i want to do any data stuff. Not good.
Also, the software still does not support the iPhone 5 screen dimensions, so video plays in the old iPhone dimensions. This means it's not very usable as a video player right now. The hard button on the drive seems to work fine for turning it on, but seems to be hit or miss for shutdown. I now shut down from within the software. This function should be moved to the homepage since it will be frequently accessed.
Lastly, I would still like to see some sort of listing in the sync software so that you know exactly what didn't sync. This way, you could determine why something didn't sync, whether it be because of the filters you have set or some other reason. I currently have about 16gb of stuff that doesn't sync, so I'd like to see what that is. Anyway, because I can use the music portion better, I'll give it another star. I should say that Seagate has been very responsive and that I owe them a call because they asked to speak about my issues in detail. This is why I have hope that this device will soon be great, software is easier to fix than hardware.
Loading the files into the Satellite went seamlessly. Once everything was loaded up the connections to various devices, setting up security and all that were perfect. The movies played as chosen the device was exactly what I wanted and expected for storing my esoteric collection. I was pleasantly surprised at the ability to also connect to the internet while connected to the device, though that was never a deal breaker to me. I expected some issues with disconnections occasional stuttering and other minor glitches. I get a few...here and there...but for $150 I still see this as a tremendous value.
THE GOOD:
Do your homework, spend a little time learning about the device and for storing and wirelessly streaming 500gigs of media (which is what I bought it for) it is a really bitchen little toy. I use it plugged in almost exclusively, I am aware of battery limitations on almost any device and have obsessively configured my tech life to have electricity available. If there is no electricity of some sort available...it's probably a good time to take a break from tech.
THE WANTS:
Being...somewhat control focused...I would like to be able to work some of my foldering classifications into the device. It would be cool if the iTunes interface (bad as it is) transferred over intact. The playlists for the music transferred over and work fine but the movie playlists confused the device.
I rigged my iPad with a $30 connector to play media on my entertainment center in the living room. Netflix works OK this way and any movies stored on the 64gigs of the iPad...but when I tried to stream through the Satellite it was ugly. Everything crashed. Been wanting to find a device to use wi-fi and network the higher quality files fromt the external drive on the entertainment center anyway...next geek project to tackle.
I am not sure how the Satellite picks images to use for Video; if I opened the info on the file in iTunes and uploaded my own image it transferred over...if not goflex interface picked the image from one movie (in this case "Anatomy to a Murder") and put that on any video that I did not manipulate. Being visually oriented makes it a (minor) irritation. Further, when I took the trouble to remedy by "fixing:" those images no amount of refreshing would change them; have to delete and re-load the video...meh, a minor irritation.
THE MEH:
Loading the thumbnails is painfully slow with close to 300 videos stored. They do get there...eventually. Clicking on the "file sort" makes it a little quicker but then I lose one more of my lauded classifications. MEH>>>
The connection cuts out once in a while, but what the hey? MEH>>>
Okey, Okey, the battery life yada, yada. REALLY?? Get out and take a walk, trees, sky, birds all in living 3D is kinda cool once in a while. MEH>>>
Please don't listen to some of the whining from over-indulged, self-esteemed twits. This little "toy" is as close to perfect an answer as I could find for my collection of movies THAT FITS IN THE PALM OF MY HAND!! It's an amazing time for a 50 year old who remembers that this was only a "in-the-future" pipe dream. Thank you Goflex. I like my satellite and am looking forward to the new and improved versions in the future...this one is full.
The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because I've only been using it a few hours so I'll admit some problems might show up in the future.
But as of now I've had absolutely no problems. I've updated the firmware. I have transferred a few files and I have got them to play on all my devices. I even got 3 devices using the GoFlex at once. My Mom and I both watched a video from our iPads. No problems with the video at all.
I was pleasantly surprised that things went so easily. After reading some of these reviews I was prepared for a long process with problems and setbacks. Nothing like that occurred. However I did spend quite a bit of time yesterday reading the manual and watching the videos on Seagate's site. I figured I needed to be prepared.
The longest part is converting the files to the format that plays on Apple devices. Fortunately those files also play on my Xoom. I am using RealPlayer 15 Plus to convert the files. It takes about 15 minutes to convert about 20 minutes of video (one episode of anime). Unfortunately I have to use my Dad's computer since I'm visiting my parents right now. So I set it up to convert a whole bunch of files while he is using his computer to surf the Internet. It's going to take a while before I have a large selection of videos on the GoFlex. I have yet to try storing any of the videos I purchased on iTunes, but I already use Apple's Cloud storage and only download one or two videos at a time from iTunes just having what I'm currently watching on my device so I don't see the need to use up space on my GoFlex.
It appears it will store PDF files as there a bunch of manuals in different languages already on the GoFlex. That will be my next project, storing my many many book files on it.
If all keeps going well I'll be able to use the majority of my space on my iPad for apps. If I run into any significant problems I'll update this review and if all continues to go well I'll give it the 5th star. Right now it is working at a 5 star level, but I know I need some time to make sure that holds true.
Yes it does take some work to get it set up. It is not like an iPhone or iPad that works intuitively out of the box. Take the time to read the documentation and not just the quick start guide that comes in the box. A little reading in advance might save you some frustration.
I'm thrilled with it and am glad I asked for it when my parents asked what I wanted for my birthday. Now I'm just waiting on the Japanese PSP game that is the rest of my birthday presents from them.
If you are desperate for storage space for your iPad, iPhone or Android device go ahead and get this!

My plan is to buy a Kindle Fire soon and I have heard this Seagate would not work with it. As an experienced computer user it would appear to make more sense to just buy more gigs on the Kindle than get a wifi drive.
The pity of all of this is that I hate to return things. I researched this thing for several days and saw alot of positives. Some of the positive reviews would appear to come from iPad users so maybe it has a strong nich there. In re-reading some of the positives I have to question how accurate their statements were. Looking back, a few must have been written by Seagate people. I was severely disappointed in the software and Media Sync. There is no way around how grossly simplistic and UNimaginative it is.
My need for it was based on the notion that it would really be useful to my library research. No cables! To be able to have an external hard drive with no cables would be awesome. Plus to have 500 gigs sitting right there would be very useful for transferring photos, etc. Alas, the thing does not work like that.
Update on my review: Jan 1 2013 - I would not buy this product if you plan to use it with a PC. USB 3.0 is very fast and it is a nice high speed storage device. However, it is less than 1 Star for the money because I never could get it to stream movies. What it does is download the movie to your machine, then...if it works you get to watch the movie. You have to put your movies in Videos folder or you have a devil of a time finding them. I also noticed that the scrolling is opposite to what you might think. I would not buy this drive for more than $100. It simply does not deliver what it says it does or implies it will do with a PC. Maybe it does work great with an iPad. I am going to see if Amazon will give me my money back. I agree with all of the complaints I have read so far. Some people wrote glowing reports on this thing that are totally out of sync with what the product is in reality. When you look at what Lightroom 4 can do and lots of other programs, Media Sync for this thing is back in the 1990s. Seagate is getting all of us to beta test their product.... and we don't get paid. I really want my money back just based on principle. It bothers me to be taken like this.
GoFlex Satellite is not exactly as useful as I might have hoped. The Media Sync that came with it was exactly what some said it was - lousy. In fact, some reviews on this product appear to have been a bit too positive for my liking. Granted, I was not interested in using it with an iPad. My need was to use with my PC in a library without having to carry cords around. Fortunately, the thing can be tethered and makes for a nice 500 gig drive.
The big disappointment is the Media Sync, which reminds me of the early Sansa programs. The Seagate program is silly - I'm trying to be kind. It can't give you full titles. It does not present a crisp clean display that is well organized. It would have been cool in 1999. They'd have done well to NOT release this software on the public. Loading software via wifi is cumbersome. I should get my money back. But, I'm not that angry. Just greatly disappointed.
The other thing that is weird is that the connection from drive to computer is this triangle like thingy. It slips in nicely, but then is a bummer to get out! My sense is that you should NOT buy this if interested mostly in a PC. I'll try it soon with my iPod Touch. My plan is to get a new Kindle Fire and maybe it will work with that. Who knows. It really NEEDS good software because I suspect the drive technology is first rate. The techs did a great job on the hardware and let some ....well, someone else pawn the software.
I'd have done well to get a 500 gig Lacie without the wifi... but I'll keep trying. If any one has some suggestions, I am listening.
1 star based on extreme disappointment. 4 stars as a tethered stand alone external hard drive.
