💾 Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Home 1TB STAM1000100: Hassle-Free Home Storage Solution Review

Do not pre-purchase this product. Here's why: I've tried setting up this device on a Mac Air, but to no avail! Here's my story: I activated Time Machine and it recognized the GoFlex drive. Then he asked me for a password which I have no idea what it is. Is this the password for my wireless router? Come on! it should be the GoFlex password. ok what to do As you know, the Mac Air does not have a CD drive. I could not set up with the CD. I read the QUICK installation guide and it says: If you…
