Portable storage isn’t just portable storage anymore. There are many different connectors, ports and protocols that can be used and it can all be a little bit confusing at times. Especially if you want to use your storage on multiple different devices at once. Seagate has created the Wireless 500GB Mobile Storage drive for this and it comes with both USB and WiFi capabilities.

With 500GB of storage at your disposal, the Seagate Wireless Mobile Storage allows you to bring along hundreds of movies or thousands of songs, photos, and other files. You can simply stream them via WiFi to your smartphone, tablet or even Smart TV.

There is no need for wires or internet connections, the Seagate Wireless Mobile Storage has a built in hotspot that allows you to connect directly to it – but you can also connect it with the included USB 2.0 cable and microUSB port on the drive.

With 500GB of capacity and a battery that lasts up to 6 hours, the Wireless is as mobile as you are and should last just as long as any mobile device playing movies. Don’t worry about maxing out device capacity or your data usage plan when it’s all in your pocket.

Up to three people can connect to the Seagate Wireless at once and it is compatible with almost any device: Android, Windows 8, iOS, AirPlay, LG Smart TVs, Chromecast, Roku and Kindle fire among others.

The Seagate Wireless even has the ability to automatic backup new files on your device so you always have a safe copy and you can also connect it to the Seagate services.

Pick the colour of your choice, the Seagate Wireless doesn’t just come in a boring black or white scheme, although those are available as well. You can get the drive in black, white, blue, red and green – or get them all to match whatever outfit you might be wearing that day.
