G-Connect Wireless Storage Device still selling and still worth it...

Sometimes I like to search old good promotions and check if the price are falling or going up. If the bought that I did still worth it nowadays. So that's it. G-Connect in my opinion still worth. 49 bucks still a bargain.




Let's compare with this products - based in storage capacity onl:

WD Elements 500GB USB 3.0 External Portable Hard Drive WDBLUZG5000ABK-NESN

OK it's a USB 3.0 device...

SEAGATE 500GB BARRACUDA

Hey!!! Same price!! But for a 3.5 hard drive...

HGST Travelstar 500GB 5400 RPM Serial ATA/300 Internal Notebook Hard Drive - 0S02857

Almost the same harddrive of G-Connect

SEAGATE ST500DM002 500GB

Form factor 3.5.. pretty huge , no?

Of course this is a ARM device, not only a storage. In my opinion this device is easy hackable device and it is complete. not necessary any other thing to get working, It comes with a power supply, cables and a case. Not like a raspberry pi for example.
