Got yourself one of those portable FreeAgent Go hard drives launched this time last year? If so, you're now able to equip that drive with NAS functionality thanks to Seagate's newly-launched FreeAgent DockStar network adapter.
The device, pictured below with optional hard drive inserted, is essentially a network docking station that allows users to insert a FreeAgent Go hard drive for access from any web-enabled location.
It'll connect to your network via Ethernet, and it sports three additional USB ports for further network storage expansion. We presume the USB ports will accept any portable storage device.
The FreeAgent DockStar measures 86mm x 85mm x 38mm and weighs 0.5kg. Its networking functionality is powered by the Pogoplug service from Cloud Engines and provides the ability to map drives to Windows or Mac PCs, as well as the facility to access or share stored data from a web-based interface.
The device itself is available now priced at $99.99 (roughly £60 exc. taxes). It ships with a year's free subscription to Pogoplug, but the service is charged at $29.99 per year thereafter.
