I have an old Seagate 1Tb GoFlex Home external drive that I have never really got on with. I tried using it as a backup device but it kept dropping visibility of the drive when copying data (it's connected via the network rather than USB).
What I really don't like about the drive is the requirement to have to use the Seagate Dashboard to log into the drive before it can be used.
Is there any way of removing this login requirement so that I can just access it like a standard hard drive. I know I can probably just open it up and remove the drive but I wondered if there was any other way (leaving the unit intact)?
*Edit Can a mod please move this to a more appropriate area, thanks*
