I hate to say this but I was never able to get my GoFlex to work. Seagate exchanged it for another one and it wouldn't connect to my network either. I took it back and bought a WD wireless and it connected and worked just as it was supposed to.

Sometime it get confuse between 0 (zero) and o (letter o). If it doesn't work then call Seagate customer support.

Mine has two Seagate disks in it. Same model number, and very similar serial numbers (they may have been from the same run).

Sorry, I don't know. And I can't look for that hard drive with a serial number, I'd need the model number. If memory serves, and it has been quite a while since I bought this (for a HD at work and I've now retired) it is a circular plug which, as the ad states, provides 12V.

Hello, I went to Seagate's site, typed the model and serial #'s in from one of the drives I ordered. The site shows the warranty will expire 12-21-2018.The drives arrived sealed in anti-static foil surrounded with foam in plain wire cardboard boxes. Have installed 4 drives so far with no issues.

Although I don't own this particular drive, I am here as I am looking to buy this one also to add to my two other Seagate 500gb Freeagents that I already have that have been working flawlessly for me for over 12 months now. I honestly think that your experience was most likely caused by a faulty unit. Without knowing your computer configuration (windows, mac or linux) it's hard to say if any extra steps would need to be taken to set it up, but for a windows or linux based pc it should be simply plug and play in my experience. As you see on this site, there is only one bad review of the product. If you think about how many of these must get sold every year, one bad review is pretty good as almost everybody will take the time to complain, but very few will come back to write a positive review as a working product is what most people expect. So I guess the short answer from me is yes, I would give this drive a second chance, but then again, i may be biased by my great experience. I hope that this is of some help to you..

Hi it's a bit confusing, and hard to figure out who you are ordering from on these drives. Did not buy mine from Oceanside. Might want to look at similar drives from Fry's. They have the full warranty.

i buy this item to upgrade my 2 TB seagate go flex to 3.0 usb. The item include ths 3.0 cable and the power cord. I am not sure if will fit yours.

The main thing is that you have USB 2.0 on your computer and you buy the correct GoFlex adapter for your drive. Mine came with a 2.0 cable, but I have heard some don't.

Go to the Seagate website. Go to support.There you will find an RMA request area. Fill in the form. Then print the return package label. On the label will be your RMA number. Then return to Seagate.

Not an answer, but a followup... I bought one of these last week on 26 September 2014 - the description clearly states 5 year warranty. The invoice from goHardDrive.com stated 1 year. When I put my serial number into the warranty checker at hgst.com it said: "NOT VALID FOR WARRANTY Verify warranty status &gt; Ineligible for RMA creation Please return drive to the point of purchase or system manufacturer." So it's apparently an OEM drive, not a retail drive. So far goHardDrive.com haven't replied to my eMail to them. And an hour later they just have responded, with a revised invoice that states on it "5 years Warranty" with my drive's serial number noted. So I guess it's not an HGST warranty, but I'm happy now.

I do not understand why it's not recognizing your GoFlex but I will say I myself use the Thunderbolt USB cable with my GoFlex and I've never had a problem with it. If you do not use the Thunderbolt cable then go to Seagate to download the driver so it will recognize your GoFlex. I DO recommend the Thunderbolt cable for FASTER transfer with any or ALL devices. Hope this helps ya and good luck !

There is nothing on the device itself. You will be prompted on what to do when you attach it to your computer via USB cable. I had trouble with my set up, and ended up calling Customer Service at Seagate. A very knowledgeable and helpful guy talked me through what to do. I allowed him access to my computer, and we got all the bugs worked out. I'd say if you are stuck, go to their website, and call Customer Service.
