Slickdeals.net - Seagate Wireless Plus STCK1000100 1TB Mobile Device Storage with Built-In Wi-Fi $199.99 + Free 16GB Flash drive

But they have done a teardown and posted a few photographs. [hackseagatesatellite.com]

A few observations from that page:
· The Wireless Plus case is easier to open than the Satellite's.
· The interior build quality is much better than the GoFlex.
· SSD replacement will likely be possible as with the Satellite (rugged, longer battery life)
· Battery is only slightly larger at 2900mAh 11Wh vs 2800mAh 10.36 Wh for the Satellite.
· 10 hour operating life claim is dubious...
