  • "Very poor implementation with iPad"
    1.0 stars
    on by DOBM

    Pros: Slightly better than having no external drive at all, but only just.

    Cons: The WiFi connection is not fast enough when trying to play HD movie content, the picture & sound keep stalling, with no sign of a buffer being used.
    The free App does not remember what's on the drive and has to rebuild it's contents every time you go

    Summary: One of the most poorly software implemented products I have ever found. Barely usable in it's current build. Avoid it until some major rework is made.

    The problems I have identified nearly all apply to the Goflex Media App for iPad/iPhone. I have found that the product works much better, including streaming of HD movies, when using Safari web browser, rather than the App itself.

    *UPDATE* The new firmware makes the device very usable at last. Shame it wasn't this good to start with as they would have sold tons of them. Thumbs-up to Seagate who have stood by their product and have obviously invested heavily in improving it at no additional cost to purchasers.

    Good news for all who were waiting for Satellite to work well with music! A new firmware update is available -- we now support: Cover art. Playlists. Sort by album, artist & genre. Photo slide shows w/music. (and better performance too) http://*****/7bpn1

    We listened and caught up to what you asked for. : )
