How to set up Goflex Home?
Setting up the GoFlex Home is a simple affair, requiring only that you supply a name for the device itself, as well as a username and password for accessing it. The device name should be made something memorable, as you need this to connect to the NAS remotely via the Seagate Share website. Once the GoFlex Home is set-up you can remove the Seagate Share application and simply manage the NAS through the web interface, which is simple, but intuitively laid out and offers all the functionality you’ll need.
What is the removable part of Goflex Home?
The removable part of the GoFlex Home is, unsurprisingly, little more than a plastic casing around a standard 3.5in hard drive, to the extent that the connection to the dock is simply a gap in the casing, exposing the SATA port of the hard drive within. A few retention clips ensure that it’s not just the SATA connection holding the drive in place, with a little help from the drive’s mass, and gravity.
How many users can you have on Goflex?
A seemingly arbitrary limitation of the GoFlex Home is that Seagate limits the device to only three users, unless you purchase a subscription to its Seagate Share Pro service. However, although some will take umbrage with this limitation we doubt any GoFlex Home buyer is likely to need to use it with more than three people – bearing in mind multiple computers can connect using the same user name, albeit without password-protect separate storage areas.
How much does a Goflex home cost?
For most users, we think the £87, 1TB GoFlex Home should offer sufficient storage. A 2TB unit will cost you just under £125, which is a significant increase; even if it isn’t too much out of line with the difference between a 1TB and 2TB drive purchased separately. We think that anyone needing more storage than that should be looking at a full-fledged, RAID-supporting NAS system.
