If i take a drive from my old goflex nas and insert in here, would the files still be accessible?

You need to format the drive before use. So if you have some files on it, you will lose that. Beware!!!!!

Only if you fully backup the drive as it will have to be reformatted for RAID. You should backup anyway as you have only one drive and stand to lose all of your data.

You can migrate the drives to a new unit but there are a few things that get lost. see this tutorial: http://www.synology.com/en-us/support/tutorials/484

IF you do not have a user account that has access to a share on that drive then you will get an error mapping the drive.I thought there was a util;ity built in that would map a drive for you. i hve upgraded to a netgear nas

You can as long as where your present Hard drive is incaged. Me I found that an enclosed case (Metal box case) you cannot use this item because it sticks out to far. Hope this helps.

Yes, but you need to buy a Goflex Home Doc or a special cable from Segate ($20) (Model # STAE104). Try this page - http://www.seagate.com/external-hard-drives/accessories/

Sure, assuming what you have to backup will fit. I do it the other way around. Since I work on documents at work and home, my Sandisk drive has my main copy and the work/home drives are backups.

it should, its essentially a tiny remote drive, the file system can only be viewed in a browser tho, then its just a matter of dragging and dropping to your desired folder

The drive app will see the folders; how it interacts w/ your ethernet question is unknown. It should work, but ... connectivity is diceySorry I cannot be more specifici

You would have to replace the two hard drives in the LinkStation with drives that have a larger capacity. Supported drives can be found here:http://www.buffalotech.com/content/files/products/Supported_HDD_List_LS-WXL.pdfYou will still need to transfer your old data to the NAS after installing the new drives.

I presume you're having a problem with the connector of the mentioned GoFlex hard drive and not the actualy hard drive itself. If that is the case, then yes, this should take care of the same. Taking the HDD out of the seagate case might take some work, but putting it inside this one's a breeze!

Very unlikely unless you have a SATA to mSATA adapter which can cause data integrity issues

Yes. Plug in to a USB port. The driver will load. Open your file manager and move your files to the new drive.

I imagine you could. I don't recall seeing any specifications stating otherwise. Bear in mind, however, that the product works through a router which needs to be on in order for files to be accessible.

I am using this dock with my Seagate BackUp Plus 3TB unit. I took my 3TB hard drive from the "Back Up Plus's" base and directly plugged it to the Home Base NAS Dock and it fitted correctly. I was using my BackUp Plus connected to my Asus RT-AC66U Router's USB port and can easily access to it via internet anywhere inthe world, and now I can do the same with connecting it to my lovely Asus Router's WAN/LAN port. This way you can setup a new Seagate GoFlex Access account and secure your files while they are all accessible via internet. Nice job with the interchangeable docks and drives Seagate.. well done.

You can, just make sure when u make changes back up your data first..... You can loose it, upon moving from say Raid 0 to Raid 5.

Yea just copy them onto the drive and plug it in, you'll have to leave the drive in since it has no internal storage.
