Seagate 500 GB Wireless External Hard Disk Drive  (Blue)

Free yourself with Seagate Wireless mobile storage. Enjoy your media and access your files without wires or the Internet. Seagate Wireless broadcasts its own Wi-Fi network, so you can wirelessly stream your media and files to up to three mobile devices. With 500GB of storage at your fingertips, choosing which files to sync to your mobile device before a long trip is a thing of the past. Seagate Wireless lets you carry hundreds of movies and thousands of photos, songs and documents.

Seagate Wireless streams your media and documents to all your popular tablets, smartphones, computers and connected devices. The free Seagate Media app available for iOS, Android tablets and smartphones, Kindle Fire and Windows 8/RT tablets and computers makes it easy to navigate and enjoy content wherever you go. Share your content with everyone on the biggest screen in your house-the TV.

The Seagate Media app can cast your content to a Chrome cast, LG Smart TV or a Roku player with ease when on the same network. Are your photos and video eating up all your space? With Seagate Wireless, you can now offload or back up full-resolution pictures and video from your smartphone or tablet using the Seagate Media app. Windows 8 users can access all the content on Seagate Wireless directly from their desktops using the Seagate Media App for a truly wireless drive experience.

The Seagate Wireless Device will not mount on USB if the Wi-Fi mode is active. Be sure to press the power button and wait for the blue Wi-Fi light to turn off before plugging the drive in for use in USB mode. The drive may take up to 40 seconds to mount on USB after running in Wi-Fi mode. Allow the drive some time to connect with the PC and negotiate USB mode.

Use the original cable or a 18” USB cable to connect the drive. Longer cables have more resistance and may not allow enough power to flow to the drive.
Don’t use un-powered USB hubs. The drive will need all available USB power, so plug drive directly into a USB port on the computer or into a powered USB hub.
