It says "WIFI ENABLED" but the fine print says "as long as you connect it via ethernet to your own wifi router". In other words it is like ANY NAS or other device you can already access on your LAN by whatever means you currently use. I am pretty sure that is why they have changed their packaging on them since this one (which I bought 2nd hand though unused) and it needlessly has the HDD inside another enclosure which has to be placed into the receiver with a SATA interface which has the ethernet and power ports, but does NOT allow for placing ANY SATA HDD there. I suppose that will sell more Seagate drives, but there are much better choices around, and the configuration is mechanically fragile since it HAS to stand upright.

Since Seagate shutdown the seagateshare dot com website, a new GOFLEX HOME device is nearly impossible to setup without having deep technical/linux knowledge. You cannot just plug in the device and go as it tries to contact the new defunct domain. Avoid this item as the cost is quite high and the most you might get out of it is a slow 2 TB hard drive that you have to crack the case on to use.

I bought the GoFlex system to back up my desktop and my wife's net-book. I did not realize a USB hub could be plugged into the GoFlex base until I was reading the manual. My wife has had problems printing from her net-book so, I plan on attaching a hub then a printer to the GoFlex base and hopefully that stops her printing problems. The software that comes with the GoFlex system is very easy to setup and use. I have it set to backup both systems when; they first come on, when they are shut down, and a complete backup every 2 days. So far so good.
although new...this product is 2010 built.. the dock won't recognize the drive and after a TON of time w/seagate ,have determined this product not compatible w/windows 10.

I wanted to be able to access it for multiple system of which I have a few. I also tinker a lot with my systems and I don't have to worry about loosing data. I like that it is nerwork attache device and therefore dont neet to leave anothe computer on to share the device. I am not crazy about the browser interface to enable access but id is convenient for external access. Sharing docs and picures does not work so well. It is good if you have a limited budget. If more money was available I would wit a devie that does not use the web interface.
