4TB capacity in a small enclosure, Remote access worked well, App is easy to use
Hard drive is not user replaceable, Somewhat noisy during seek operations, Network cable can be hard to disconnect
the Seagate Central is a good drive that we didn't have to fuss over on our home network. We plugged it in, transferred some files to it, and everything was rosy. We like the fact that you can get such a high capacity (4TB) in such a small and relativel...

to this Seagate also sells some portable hard drive with internal wifi chip. But device connectivity is limited on them. Seagate Central comes in 3 different storage sizes. They are 4TB, 3TB and 2TB. The cost of Seagate Central is Rs.17,449.00. That makes

Goes up to only 4TB of storage, Heats up after extended usage, No RAID
Seagate is one of the first few companies to make a network storage device that is easy for home users to utilise. It is quite unfortunate however that it only has up to 4TB of storage space to play around with.(previously published in issue March 2014)...
