The two Seagate Personal Cloud drives can stream any content to tablets, smartphones, computers, TVs, and set-top boxes with the help of the Seagate Media application. You can use either of the two to act as a central backup device for your gadgets from USB drives to computers, and Android or iOS mobile devices.


The Seagate Personal Cloud is easy to setup and access. Simply connect the storage device to a wireless router, download the Seagate Media app, and then start browsing and accessing your files to stream to your choice of device that are included in Seagate's list of supported products: LG Smart TVs, Samsung Smart TVs and Blu-ray players, streaming media players (Apple TV,Chromecast, Roku), and iOS/Android/Kindle/and Windows 8/RT-powered.

The Personal Cloud 2-bay device works the same way except it comes with a pair of internal drives. The storage device stores all files not just on one drive but on two drives so in case of disk failure, you'll have an automatic backup.
