New GoFlex Home 2TB Network Drive for sale

[deepakvrao]

Bought in October 2011 [from Flipkart], but had an issue in November. Got a brand new replacement drive on 27th Dec, and have used it for a week.

Selling it as I am planning to get a Asus router with 2 USB ports, so no longer need a network drive with a ethernet connection. Currently this is connected to my wifi router with a RJ45 jack.

Warranty remaining till October 2013

Withdrawn for now. Got some advise on another forum.

True I guess

Deepak, I would be wary of connecting USB drives to a router and leaving them on 24/7: most USB drives don’t spin-down their disks when idle, and this seriously compromises disk life. I guess this is because the drive vendors expect that you would plug the drive into your PC when you need to copy stuff and unplug it once you’re done, so they don’t optimise it for 24/7 use. A proper NAS is designed to stay on all the time, so it is a better bet in this case.
