Setting Up
Being the typical male that I am, I completely ignored the quick-start guide. On the back of the docking station you’ll see an ethernet port, a USB port, a hole for the power connector and a power button. I plugged the drive container into the docking station, attached power and ethernet then powered on the device.
In Use
This is where my gripe with Seagate begins. Honestly, though, it’s also where it ends so take it with that understanding.
Sharing is Caring
Don’t be confused by the box — All of these claims of “wirelessly access files and back up multiple computers”? That just means that you can access the drive from your wireless device, as long as you’re connected to the same network. It’s nothing crazy and special like you might believe given the hype that is portrayed on the packaging.
Expanding Horizons
You’ll remember that I said, early in the review, that the dock had a USB port. Now, you might think that this would offer a one-touch backup solution, but it sadly doesn’t. What it can do, however, is expand your storage on the GoFlex Home. If you have an external USB drive sitting around, you can plug it in and use the extra space to your liking.
Final Thoughts
Seagate’s GoFlex Home 2 TB version is a handy device to have around, to be sure. Backing up is easy, once you’re through the pains of setup. The sharing is great, but I’m miffed by the idea that I have to purchase the Pro license or have to pay to use more than 3 computers with it.
