Or as I call it...Seagate NoGoFlex. I bought a Seagate GoFlex TV streaming media player. Basically it allows me to access media shared on other computers on my network on my TV using a simple menu and a remote control. So far, I like it. But it lacked the speed and convenience of a local storage medium. No hard drive meant that everything had to stream over the network. This slowed things down for other users, and led to annoying buffering when other users were on Netflix or streaming media sites. Yes, we're a very connected family.
So I ordered a GoFlex internal drive. I figured I could load it up with a bunch of shows from my computer, and then watch it locally on the GoFlex TV unit. But so far, When I attempt to write files to it using my Windows XP desktop, I get constant delayed write failures, even though I have turned off the delayed write setting for the drive. Yet it works fine in my Windows 7 notebook. Why? Oh, you don't know either? Boo.
Well, off I go to the internet to see what the various support forums have to say. Wish me luck.
