What are the significant differences between Seagate Expansion Portable 1 TB USB 3.0 (Model STAX1000302) and Seagate Free Agent GoFlex 1TB USB 3.0 (Model STAA1000302) except Data Encryption? I found Expansion models are cheaper.

Regards,

  • This is the definition of "Too Localized". Asking for specific product recommendations like this will likely get your topic closed anywhere in the network. It wouldn't hurt to try asking it there, but don't be surprised if it's closed just as fast. – MDMarra Mar 22 '12 at 20:33
