Seagate has launched the Wireless Plus mobile device storage range, that lets users save content and files to the drive wirelessly, and migrate files to cloud services such as Dropbox and Google Drive. Users can also stream HD video from the storage devices.

Seagate Wireless Plus mobile storage connects to devices over a Wi-Fi connection, which the battery-powered drive emits once powered on.  The drive creates its own Wi-Fi network, eliminating the need to be within range of an existing network connection.

The Seagate Wireless Plus mobile storage has a supported battery life of up to 10 hours. The drive is available at 2TB for $199.99, while the 1TB model comes for $179.99. The 500GB capacity point will retail for $149.99.
