It's Network storage. It's expandable to other USB twoǙ or Segate Desk drives. USB can be utilized as a print server. It can connect by means of Ethernet, or Firewire/USB (with an aditional adapter) It's 1TB; what possesses a particular person to have far more data than that at home? It can be slow at occasions. It's quite huge in size. It only has 1 Ethernet port (not combined with a switch/hub) No native wireless while it says wireless on the box (i.e. it's wireless when plugged into a wireless router). My largest CON is that is isn't totally free.lol Overall, this is exactly what I necessary: A drive that functions independently from computer systems to be accessed from any pc or over the web. It is also my backup drive. My main concern is that when I unplug the drive from its Ethernet base to use the USB/Firewire adapter, I have to redo initial setup to get the Ethernet operating once more. Also, to transfer about 200GB of data, it requires about 5 or six hours at 10BaseT. I assume it'd be faster with gigabit Ethernet, but either way, my setup is still more rapidly than USB two and Firewire 400. So... if you need a storage solution that permits you to access your drive from anywhere devoid of getting limited to Windows file sharing even though the server is on, then this is for you. If all you need to have is a large backup drive, then get anything less costly and more transportable. 4 egg rating simply because it can be slow, it's big, and it was really hard to do initial setup. |

7200 rpm drive employed. I have attempted the WD Mybook Planet, Seagate Blackarmor and Netgear Stora systems and they all use slower 5400 rpm drives. All of those products were over 赨. This a single suits my demands till I ultimately get about to building my own NAS machine. The software is poor. I do not want to see prompts to get me to by Memeo. This item could have been a lot better if not for this situation.I hate it when companies limit the # of licesnses. Seagate tries to milk you to get a Memeo subscription or add further licenses to make it operate with a lot more PCs on your network. Ethernet dock and drive are able to be disconnected. I was in a position to use the dock with another SATA drive, even though it had to be propped up mainly because the dock was meant to hold the drive case.I had to do a password reset, it did not wipe my information.If you have Windows 7 you do can use it to make a program image and store it on the Goflex, so I do not miss that feature. |

Nicely designed drive - I like the fact that you can detach the drive from the base for simple storage/mobility. The integrated software program is poor and lacks some simple functions I was expecting (i.e., creating and storing a total image). It's also full of ads for Memeo, Seagate's on the internet subscription service. This pay service consists of some (but not all) of the functions I was seeking for. You've currently got me 贶 in the hole and now you want an additional ฮ? Not cool. Also the software program didn't function adequately on my Vista laptop. Clicking to launch 1 of the important features triggered the application to crash. Installation was also supposed to map drives to Windows Explorer - it didn't. Launching 1 of the browser-based functions prompts me to install an older version of Flash player than the one already installed on this machine. I had to submit a assistance ticket immediately after a wasted hour of troubleshooting this morning. Thanks Seagate! We'll see how nicely I get supported. At this point I think I really should've bought the Iomega HomeMedia and saved myself some time AND money. |

The Dock Station, the truth you can use a sATA Drive in it if one particular so wished.Wonder style Merely, unit did not perform.Failed to function as desired/expected There is an hardware/firmware issue with some units it appears. Both units my corporation tired failed to function appropriately, error messages: "Failed to connect to central server."Returned the initially unit bought by the business simply because my boss got an error when installing. He handed the 2nd unit to me to set up. Followed the guide and received an error reading "Failed to connect to central server." Tired a few items to get obtain this error such as removing it form the network to my Computer and nonetheless failed. Passed it off to an Intern thinking maybe I was just missing something simple and he along with an engineer failed to get this to operate on a Computer or Mac. |

Effortless to set up for a novice. The computer software does all the function (setup) for the user. For the IT Pro the setup is a pain. |

Good designGoFlex flexibilityExcellent cost Seagate software program produced by Memeo is awful. There is a lot of bloatware and they attempt to sell you all kinds of worthless software program and services. The base and totally free package that iss supposed to support setup the item just doesn't function. It doesnt find the drive on the network and I can\'t proceed with installing anything.I can see the item in the Windows explorer and Mac finder. However, there is some user name and password that I have no clue where to discover. There is no valuable info on the Seagate assistance web page. |
Good concept with the interchngalble Bases You HAVE to Create an online account in order to even use the Device for this purpose I returned the drive the day I bought it. I wanted a standalone device with automatic backup for two desktops and two laptops. This device was dependant on on the web services. You had to give your device a name and the name was registered with seagate online solutions so you could not use the similar name someone else had utilised. With out naming the device you could not access it. Software had advertisments to obtain more software programLimits how quite a few computer systems can be backed up.
