Seagate has a new NAS drive called the GoFlex Home Desk, and it comes with either 1TB or 2TB variants. There’s also the GoFlex Home Desk 3TB, but it seemed to be rather limited at the moment.

The GoFlex Home connects to your electronic devices via a Gigabit Ethernet port and allows all manner of media streaming, file sharing and backups across a home network or the internet with the key emphasis of Seagate’s software bundle being on ease of use. 2TB of space is more than enough space to store a huge library of video and music, and more than ample to be used as a general backup device (but that can be very subjective if you know what I mean). The 2TB GoFlex Home retails around $229. There’s the 1TB variant too if you don’t keep collections of huge size files, and they retail at $159.

Upgrading or replacing a drive at a later date is possible, although you are limited to using one of Seagate’s GoFlex drives, which I assume most new Barracuda will be compatible. A couple of LEDs grace the front side of the docking unit; one pertaining to connectivity and the other showing drive ready status (drive activity is not shown, unfortunately). There’s a gigabit Ethernet port, USB port (for plugging in a network printer or USB drive), on/off switch and power input connectors are all located on the rear of the unit. Power is supplied by a 12V PSU that’s included in the package.
