Seagate has produced what it calls the world’s first 3TB external hard drive, called the FreeAgent GoFlex Desk.
The gadget, which costs $US250, comes with USB 2.0 capability, optional bases that add FireWire or USB 3.0 support and can hold up to 120 HD movies, the company said.
“Consumer capacity demands are quickly out-pacing the needs of business as people continue to collect high-definition videos, photos and music,” Seagate executive VP of sales and marketing Dave Mosley said in a statement.
The company also says the gadget provides a file encryption system, is compatible with Windows and Mac software and is ideally used as a backup system.
