How does this work?
You go to the settings of you tablet or smartphone (it's not only for Apple products but for all products that has wi-fi capabilities) and look for the server of the GoFlex Satellite. You can access a lot of photos, videos and files that are not in your gadgets.
Pros:
It's 500gig, so there's a lot of storage spaces.
It's portable and rechargeable, so you can bring it everywhere.
Battery life is decent.
It's also an external hard drive for your computer or laptops
Cons:
For Apple products users, you can't connect to the internet because the wi-fi is dedicate only to the hard disk when you're using the GoFlex Satellite hard disk. So you won't be able to receive any IMessage when you're viewing videos, photos and files that are in the disk.
Most of the time, you couldn't access any files after 10 minutes. It's not disconnected, it just stop responding. To remedy this, you have to turn it off and turn it on again.
There will be times but rarely, in my case, that it would watch a few videos non-stop.
You can only upload and download files using the computer or laptop not on the tablets or smartphones.
If you are going to show your work to clients using the IPad, this is perfect. You won't need more than 10 minutes to show your products or services anyway.
So if you are thinking of purchasing this to watch your favorite TV shows or movie, I decide against it.
For Product and/or service presentation to clients, it's okay.
As a rating I would give it 3 Stars on the product.
I would suggest to research on the products you want before buying it.
