REVIEW l Seagate Wireless Harddrive

When I accidentaly dropped my Portable Harddrive and broke, I was really devastated.  Fortunately my wife, Mrs. A, gave me a Portable Harddrive last month as her advance Birthday gift to me (since she knew how I loved my Portable HD).

Portable Harddrives have the same purpose as any Harddrives out there, the only difference is that with that of a portable HD you don't need to plug it in.  If you travel a lot for work or pleasure with a laptop, and is in need of an extra memory for storing pictures or files then you definitely need a Portable HD.

So after a lot of research (and believe me when I say A LOT since it took me months to decide) I finally chose the Seagate Wireless Portable Harddrive.  And yes you read it right, it is wireless.  So what made this Seagate Wireless HD my choice? Well for starters, it is wireless, which means that you could connect any device which has wifi capabilities to this HD.  You could store your photos from your phone directly to the HD without the need for a computer, not only that but you could also download photos or files from your HD to your phone or any device.  I specifically use this to watch movies or look at photos during long haul flights or while waiting at the terminal before boarding.

The reason it took me months before I could decide, was because I couldn't decide if I should choose the 2TB or 1TB (TB stands for Terabytes).  The price difference between the two are not that far off, but I ended up choosing the 1TB since I don't need that much memory space, and since I have another HD specifically for my desktop. The other reason was, if I should get the wireless HD or not since the wireless HD almost cost twice as much as the one without the wireless capability.  So after a long and gruesome decision making, I finally decided to get the one with the wireless capability.

The Seagate Wireless Portable HD has its own battery that would last upto 10 hours as per advertised, but as per using it the battery only lasted for roughly 8 hours on a full charge, which is still great. It would take you 2-3 hours to charge the seagate and then you are ready to go.

So overall my experience with my Seagate Wireless Portable Harddrive has been positive, the only downside is that not all video formats are playable in your mobile device.

I would highly recommend this product to those people who love to take a lot of pictures or love watching movies on the go.
