Why may the external hard drive surprise you? May be design? Probably, but more likely it is capacity. No one expects special feats from the USB-HDD. Nevertheless the designer Andre Silva has decided that this situation was unfair and suggested not only beautiful but also useful idea. He placed on the body drives the touch panel – touch pad, as on laptops.

Thus, this device will combine the functions of data storage and a kind of external touchpad.

Seagate managed to invent another major evolution in portable hard drives (HDD) – GoFlex Storage System by Seagate.

This time the wind of change brought a true revolution in storage solutions. GoFlex Storage System by Seagate emphasizes the real flexibility as the new storage family includes both portable and desktop external drives. Each fits an array of cable adapters that allow GoFlex Storage System quickly switch to difference interfaces.

Seagate’s new FreeAgent GoFlex design divided external hard drive into two parts, the storage and the cable adapter. The storage part is just the hard drive itself, like any internal SATA hard drive with a protective case. The second part is a small adapter that can be snapped-in tight on the first part to make it a complete external storage solution. The two connect via the standard SATA interface.
