We’re here with another unboxing and this time it’s Seagate’s updated line of external storage, the GoFlex Ultra-Portable Drive to be more specific. It’s actually pretty cool and we definitely like the interchangeable connectors/cables. Of course, we’ll talk more about that in our full review coming up in a few days, but to tide you over you can watch the unboxing after the break.

We knew “something big” was coming from Seagate, but we had no idea what until now. Earlier this evening, the storage company unveiled the GoFlex line of products that include ultra-portable drives, desktop external drives, an HD media player, and a media sharing device.
The GoFlex hard drives range from 320GB to 2TB starting at $100 and going all the way up to $200. These drives are special in a way that they’re simultaneously compatible with both Mac and Windows and can support USB 2.0, USB 3.0, FireWire, and eSATA through “upgrade cables” that you can purchase starting at $20.
The GoFlex HD media player seems to simply be like the FreeAgent HD media player, but will support the GoFlex HDDs. This will be priced at $130, but there will most likely be bundle packs with HDDs included in the near future.
Last but not least, the GoFlex Net media sharing device is seems to be an updated version of the DockStar, which we reviewed awhile ago. It’ll work with any USB storage device, similar to a PogoPlug device.
UPDATE: Seagate added a Flickr photo set of the all new equipment. Check ‘em out here.
