Any chance of Seagate making a GoFlex TB cable?

[deepakvrao]

Looking at getting one of those that run off USB only. Had ordered a Toshiba, only to find later that it has issues with Lion and/or Macbook Airs.

Now undecided between a Seagate GoFlex, and a WD.

Any advantages of the GoFlex system of interchangeable cables? I see the prices for a USB 3 cable are pretty high. I have no use for USB 3, but might like a Thunderbolt cable if they ever made one to fit their drives. Any idea whether Seagate might come up with one?

I already use a GoFlex Home network attached HDD, so woud it make more sense to go for the Seagate? The Seagate is slightly larger and heavier than the WD, but not so significant I think.

These are the drives I am looking at.

Thanks, just what I wanted to know.

Links edited and working now.

Expensive now, but I think prices might drop in time, so I guess better to go Seagate than WD.

No Problem. 🙂

It is expensive and I'm waiting for prices to drop as well. Maybe probably in a few months? Who knows? 😛
