1. Introduction About This Guide

GoFlex Satellite™ User Guide 5

1. Introduction

The GoFlex Satellite™ mobile storage device is a portable hard drive that broadcasts a

wireless signal, allowing you to stream content stored on the drive, such as music, videos,

pictures and documents to an iPad®, iPhone®, iPod® touch, other tablets, smartphones,

computers or any Wi-Fi-enabled device. If you don’t have an Apple® device, you can use a

Web browser to stream your digital media to another device. See "System Requirements" for

a list of compatible devices and Web browsers.

A single user can enjoy up to four hours of continuous play at home or on the road—without

the clutter of cables and wires. (Three simultaneous users can enjoy two hours.) GoFlex

Satellite can serve up the same or unique content to three wireless-enabled devices at the

same time, allowing each user to define his or her own experience.

Inside GoFlex Satellite is a 500GB hard drive that can store up to 60 hours of high definition

movies, 125,000 songs, or 100,000 photos.

GoFlex Satellite serves as a mobile wireless network. You select the drive in your wireless-

enabled device’s network list and then stream content to your media device.

Setup is easy. Simply connect the drive to your computer, copy the files you want to stream,

install the GoFlex Media app (Apple devices only), and in just minutes, you can enjoy your

files around the home, at your favorite hangout or on your next family trip.

The GoFlex Media app, specifically for Apple devices, collects and categorizes the digital

media files you copy to GoFlex Satellite. All of your videos, photos, music and documents are

available within the app for easy playback and viewing. See “Using the GoFlex Media app” on

page 19.

Also available for GoFlex Satellite is the Seagate Media Sync software, which you can use to

automatically synchronize all of your media files with GoFlex Satellite, or only those

supported by an iPad. See “Step 3: Installing Software” on page 12.

Do we want to promote this device as a backup drive as well, or just focus on its primary use?

About This Guide

This User Guide introduces the features of the GoFlex Satellite device, describes how to set

up your GoFlex Satellite, how to load your media files onto the drive, and explains how to use

GoFlex Satellite to stream your digital media files to any wireless-enabled device.
