The guys at Open Stora do a fantastic job but apart from their time, hosting the site costs money, so there's no guarantee that it will always be there.
I usually just link to the Open Stora wiki pages Easy Root Access but I've leaned not to rely on external sites. Update: Android now has an excellent SSH client app: JuiceSSH is full featured and works brilliantly. For UNIX machines like Mac OS and Linux you can use the inbuilt "Terminal" application. To send commands to the GoFlex Home with SSH, you need a client application on the remote PC.
Since it doesn't have input devices or a display, if you want to run operating system commands then you need another computer and a way to connect and that's where Secure Shell or SSH comes in. OK, so it doesn't have a display or input devices like a mouse or keyboard, but it does have it's own Linux Operating System in 256 MB NAND flash storage, 128MB RAM and I/O ports (gigabit ethernet, SATA and USB). Unlike the older generation, these new drives come formatted as exFAT which enables them to be used on both Mac and PCs out of the box.First things first the GoFlex Home isn't an external hard drive, it's a stand-alone computer with a hard drive. Short story: last year I switched from Mac to PC - something I never dreamed I'd do - and it was no fun at all having to offload my external drives, reformat them from the Mac OS Extended format to exFAT, and reload them with my files. I wish I had my backup drives set to exFAT from the beginning, even though I never thought it would be necessary. Speed testing the Backup Plus drives on my Dell XPS 15 showed no important difference between clean formats of exFAT and NTFS. Both drives got me around 125 MB/s write and read speeds both in the Blackmagic Design Disk Speed Test program and real world. Five files totaling 3.23 GB took 28 seconds to write to disk.Īs an optional install, the Seagate Backup Plus drives come with Toolkit software that can manage automatic folder syncing, backups, recovery, and reformatting. The very simple interface was easy enough to follow along with and set up a custom folder to mirror. Toolkit also makes it easy to mirror more standard operating system folders like Photos, Videos, and Documents by just checking some boxes.
