There are 3 USB ports (2in back 1 in front), I have had multiple external hard drives connected.

I don't have a seagate goflex to test that with but I don't see why not. I have connected other external drives to it with out a problem. Even connected a 2 port hard drive docking station to it.

Yes, you can connect any usb external drive to the ts-212. it's got usb 2.0 ports, but usb 3.0 devices are backwards-compatible with them. I love my TS-212: great device! Be careful with those Goflex drives though - they often don't spin-down as they should when inactive. If their ac power is plugged-in, they'll sometimes run for days non-stop, even if their usb cable's not connected to anything!

We have several of these as back up power supplies for our 1 TB SeaGate Free Agent GoFlex hard drives (3). They work perfect! Not sure about your term "Desk Adapter PN:...... But it will power the GoFlex perfectly. Hope this helps!!

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 !

Yes you can if it connects by USB. You can also connect over a network if the drive is shared and skip the wires.

I had the same issue. I even attempted to connect this to a "powered" USB port and still had nothing happen. I recently had the opportunity to test a Seagate Backup Plus Portable 1TB drive, which has a removable USB3.0 to SATA adapter. The Seagate adapter worked perfectly on all the drive I tested (i.e., 2.5" and 3.5" 1TB, 2TB, and 3TB). I'm now looking for a quality USB3.0-to-SATA adapter with a single cable, like the Seagate one.

Any external USB hard drive can be used via the USB ports, the seagate HD is necessary to for the "convenient" slide in interface (it still leaves both USB ports open)

This is meant to make it work like and external drive, it does work. Make sure you call Seagate to be sure you have what I have, and it works with yours: call (1.800.732.4283) this is a US number.

I was using it with a Samsung 830 SSD as a boot drive (Mac) and it would occasionally drop off. (Disconnect) I contacted Seagate because I thought the adapter might be defective and they said this adapter was not designed to work with an SSD. The folks at the Barefeats website had tested the GoFlex with SSDs and told me they did not recommend it. I now only use it with an SSD for a short period of time, for example to get a large file off quickly.

It's been a long time. I think a cable came with my drive. I don't see why you could not use any USB cable. I switch them all the time.

You shouldn't have to. Try a different port. And also wait up to 60 seconds for the drive to be recognized.

There are older external 1.8" drive with LIF internal connector cases available that attach and power from a USB external to host connection. Just be gentle but firm when connecting the drive, ans the cable ends don't take much abuse well.

Can't see why not. Works well with my Maxstor & Seagate sATA. Big problem with IDE drives -- don't fit. USB 2.0 only. Recommend you look at a USB 3.0 -- backwards compatible with 2.0.

You can use the cable that came with the drive (actually, you have to since USB 3.0 has one different end). It will automatically transfer data at 2.0 speeds.
