GoFlex has the advantage of upgrading to USB 3.0 or eSATA if you want more speed (by buying respective adapters) so yes, I would go with GoFlex.

:+1: for seagate go flex

price for 1TB would be around - rs5600
and USB3.0 adaptor - 2k(if for mobo supports USB3.0) otherwise 4.4k

for performance i cant blame Seagate.
But for RMA service & warranty its a shame....

buy WD for their better RMA support believe me...

yeah Seagate RMA is really poor.. but performance wise seagate go flex is better.. and provide future upgradation to usb3.0..
