Seagate has refreshed its lineup of external hard disk drives (HDDs) for Mac OS X.
The new GoFlex drives allow Mac enthusiasts to easily backup (via Time Machine), shuttle or share their digital content.
A Seagate spokesperson told TG Daily that all next-gen GoFlex Mac drives are HFS+ formatted out-of-the-box.
As expected, the drives continue to support both Microsoft Windows and OS X.
Indeed, the GoFlex Mac lineup can also be used with computers running Windows by simply downloading an HFS+ driver, which facilitates full read-write access to the drive from a Windows computer.
