98 of 103 people found the following review helpful Not ready for prime time, June 29, 2011 By  Bill The Ripper "music fan" (Silicon Valley) - See all my reviews This review is from: Seagate GoFlex Satellite Mobile Wireless Storage 500 GB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive STBF500101 Black (Personal Computers) Wow, I wish this thing worked better. Video: - Stutters when playing a single M4V stream, re-encoded with Handbrake at at data rate of just 1000 kbps (lower than the "standard" of 1500). - UI is barely usable - Subtitles are not an option when using the iOs app (but are ok when using the browser UI) Audio: - Horrible UI - doesn't even try reading ID3 tags and displaying a music collection by artist, album, etc. It's just a list of all songs in alphabetical order. Seriously. Photos: - Again, horrible UI. Every graphic file on the drive (including album artwork) is treated like a photo. Folder view at least uses your own collections/groupings, but astonishingly there is no slide show mode - it's one image at a time, hitting the 'Done' button to return to the file list and select another image. I know Seagate has worked with PogoPlug in the past. I found myself wishing they'd used the PogoPlug software this time (it's...

Small, simple cures could have made this so much better., June 24, 2011 By  Adam Files - See all my reviews This review is from: Seagate GoFlex Satellite Mobile Wireless Storage 500 GB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive STBF500101 Black (Personal Computers) Out of the box. The unit itself looked slick and simple. The cords needed to connect and charge this thing kinda baffled me. By that I mean they seemed redundant. Why not charge, and sync all through USB. There's probably even a good reason for this, and it didn't lessen my excitement any. The first disappointment came when I found out the drive was ( and has to remain in ) Windows NT format requiring the installation of a special driver on my Mac to run. Not a big catching point, but as I had an older (G5 running 10.4) laptop as a media server made it unusable on my current setup. Not a deal breaker. I even kind of expected it not to run as it is an outdated computer and system. Just the reason why kinda threw me. So to my main computer I hooked up the drive storing all my media, and my new GoFlex Satellite. What followed was a consistent string of disappointments created by this 'product'. Running a Mac means I had to install a special driver that would enable...

This review is from: Seagate GoFlex Satellite Mobile Wireless Storage 500 GB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive STBF500101 Black (Personal Computers) So far I have been impressed with most aspects of the Satellite. It preforms as I expected. I found set up to be complicated however. Should not have been and I'm not sure why it was. Followed instructions to a tee, with a Mac there is a .dmg file included so there is no need to format drive but it would only read and not let me write to the drive. After tinkering for an hour I downloaded the Mac file from the website and got it working. I also downloaded the Mac sync file and begin to load a few movies. I found it much easier to just drag and drop files to the Satellite rather than using the sync software. When using the sync software it would reload the same files each time I synced so I ended up with several copies of the same movies. Anyway after playing around I was able get it set up. I bought the optional Firewire connection as my older Macbook Pro doesn't have USB 3.0. port and this helps speed up moving files. You must use the seagate firewire or USB cable as they are...
