Seagate GoFlex Home Network Storage System user reviews (2TB)

Cons unstable, drive does not mount all the time. my PS3 only sees the drive half the time the other half it will only see half the files. The software allways asks me to upgrade. The list can go on and on. on May 18, 2011 by jfriy  | Read full review

Cons I bought this because I wanted a backup hard drive but found that the backup is performed through Memeo software - not through regular Windows backup. The Memeo software won't backup my external hard drives, it only backs up files on the C: drive. on March 7, 2011 by 127ML  | Read full review

Cons The drive tends to overheat easily, which then causes the drive to drop off the network. At times it would work with my PC, but not the other Macs on my network. I've spent 2 days trying to get all of my files off this drive. Finally was able to get these on June 2, 2011 by leonod  | Read full review

Cons Not a good fit for Mac users - Connection issues, and when the device does connect, copying files is unreliable (folders would copy but not the files). on March 10, 2011 by AlexnBeth  | Read full review

Cons This product sucks, I've been tryng to install it for a week, no help from Seagate in their website forum, plenty of suggestions from other users with the same problem, but my luck is no luck. Arrgggggg!!!! on February 7, 2011 by jbonilla18  | Read full review

Cons Friday my office experienced a brownout, three days later I still can not write to my NAS. IF YOU BUY THIS NAS, PUT IT ON A UPS OR YOU WILL PAY! For a month I've used a simple xcopy script to sync one folder. Now the NAS gives me Access Denied. on February 6, 2011 by ericfickes  | Read full review

Cons Very hard to use even for fairly computer literate. Very slow file upload speed. 27gb ofmusic takes over 5 hours! on January 27, 2011 by doublethebass  | Read full review

Cons Pretty well everythig. I really trely should have read the reviews. AVOID. on January 11, 2011 by DavidW5251  | Read full review

Cons The software sucks, the system is crippled unless I pay EXTRA!? The system stopped working after THREE days, and just gives me an error code when I try to access my files. on January 11, 2011 by katanajay  | Read full review

Cons Hard to navigate software
Drive kept crashing
Computer "unable to find Drive" on January 2, 2011 by kfduff  | Read full review

Cons Pretty much everything else is cons. Unstable, not very flexible, only works half the time, can't assign static ip that remains static (once you reboot it, ip is lost). Useless software and clunky web interface. on November 24, 2010 by arichru  | Read full review

Cons Where do I begin? FTP access crippled unless you pay a fee. Cryptic folder names that are not easy to navigate from ftp CANNOT BE RENAMED. Can't create a universal folder everybody can see. Must create folders buried under the "Public" folder. on October 26, 2010 by _r0k_  | Read full review

Cons This system has deliberate software limitations - only 5 users can access the drive, and only 3 users can back up to it. If you want more you have to pay an ANNUAL licence fee to Seagate!! What a rip off! on September 21, 2010 by Jason2840  | Read full review

Cons Can't locate the drive and I can't find a readily available way to perform a search for the drive on my simple home network. on March 12, 2011 by vincepsp  | Read full review
