This unit, also known as DAVE, provided a way to store, connect, and move your digital life by providing a hard drive that could connect wirelessly with up to 60 Gigabytes of storage. This device was mainly built to work with smart phones, and can work with platforms like Windows Mobile, Palm, Symbian, or any OS that has Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capabilities.

Although the casing is small, it is extremely safe and come incorporated with free fall protection to help it with stand mishaps and accidents. One of the best features is that it is high customizable. Seagate designed it so that it could easily be branded by other mobile devices, and they could change the styling of the case to best suit their manufacturing needs.
