Seagate EOL'd its "GoFlex" series of drives (NAS and external cases) a couple years ago. The right thing to do would have been to open it up (they're running linux) so that people could make better use of them instead of essentially turning them into semi-crippled garbage. Someone's dedicated blog gave a bit more usability for a while (such as the necessary hacks to actually make the drives compatible with their own system!) - http://goflexhome.blogspot.com/p/ive-had-my-goflex-home-for-around-5.html http://goflexhome.blogspot.com/p/ive-had-my-goflex-home-for-.... Yeah - they sold interchangeable drives/docks that wouldn't actually work interchangeably until you issued your own fixes. They had a stupid server-based auth system that they obviously didn't want to keep maintaining. But, that auth system wasn't even necessary except for utilizing their webclient. It's a shame, because the NAS/DLNA drive was fast and reliable on a home network.
