Protect, store and do more with the world’s most upgradeable drive.
The GoFlex™ Pro ultra-portable drive delivers premium backup with encryption, which automatically and
continuously protects all the files on your computer. The preloaded software also allows you to easily sync files
between your computer and GoFlex Pro drive, so that you will have the latest files while on-the-go. The GoFlex
Pro includes a convenient desktop dock with built-in capacity gauge, which allows you to easily view your
drive’s remaining storage capacity. But this is no ordinary external drive. As the core of the GoFlex Storage
System, the GoFlex Pro drive is the world’s most upgradeable external drive allowing it to deliver a truly
customizable experience.
Access files with the interface of your choice.
Use the standard USB 2.0 interface or upgrade to USB 3.0, FireWire® 800 or powered eSATA by pairing the
drive with the appropriate GoFlex upgrade cable. Combining the GoFlex Pro ultra-portable drive with a GoFlex
upgrade cable allows you to take advantage of the high-performance 7200RPM drive inside, which delivers up
to 40% faster file transfer speeds than the standard GoFlex drive.
Free your files.
With the included NTFS driver for Mac®, you can now interchangeably store and access files from PC and Mac
computers without reformatting. Once the NTFS driver is simply installed on your Mac computer, it allows you
to access and store files in a PC compatible format*.
* Reformatting to HFS+ required to use backup software for Mac or Time Machine® software
