Made from aluminum, the black color looks rather sharp. The GoFlex Slim Drive is a great looking drive. Additionally, the drive’s included premium backup software provides automatic and continuous backups and encrypts files and folders. The GoFlex Slim portable drive also allows for use between Windows and Mac® computers, interchangeably, without formatting or performance loss. The faster drive speed takes full advantage of the included plug-and-play USB 3.0 interface, while still maintaining compatibility with USB 2.0 ports. The 720RPM is speedy and when used in conjunction with USB 3.0 is “up to 10x faster than USB2.0”. Sliding effortlessly into a pocket, purse or messenger bag, the GoFlex Slim portable drive enables transport, access and enjoyment of personal digital content from anywhere, making it the perfect complement to today’s mobile lifestyle. In fact, Seagate is quite clear about the intended purpose of the drive in their literature which notes,

No, this isn’t you 2TB desk drive but, then again, it was not intended to be. It offers 320 GB of storage which is not huge by today’s standards but is more than enough space if you are using this drive to carry files from one place to another.


The drive is compatible with both USB 2.0 and 3.0.
