#SEAGATE DOCKSTAR KEEPS DISCONNECTING PORTABLE# In a matter of minutes a drive can become accessible through any Internet connected computer, as well as through an innovative iPhone application. "The market for networked devices is growing rapidly with the proliferation of broadband and the rise of the 'Anywhere Consumer'- those desiring to be connected everywhere they go," said Carl Howe, director, Yankee Group. "Devices that make home networks easy to use and manage by consumers will have vast market appeal." With simple installation and an intuitive web-based interface, the DockStar network adapter will change the way people control the access and sharing of their content by creating their own personal storage 'clouds' while keeping the security and privacy of the drives' content because it is located within their home. Users will also be able to deliver linked pictures and video to social networking sites, such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter.

You can even take pictures using your iPhone while traveling and then instantly upload those pictures to the DockStar in your home, allowing others who have access to that folder to see them immediately. There’s an iPhone app so you can get access to your photos, music and videos (as well as anything else attached) while you are on the road. You can even share those devices and folders that are attached with anyone you know, simply by entering their email address. You simply log in through a browser-based interface to get rich media access to whatever is attached to it.

And once installed, you can attach your FreeAgent Go or any other external USB storage devices to it to make them available over your network in your home, and even outside your home.ĭockStar makes your stuff available to you anytime, anywhere.
