Adding More Storage Capacity to GoFlex Home

If you need additional storage capacity on GoFlex Home in the future, you can connect a
USB drive directly to GoFlex Home (see page 66) or upgrade to a new or larger-capacity
GoFlex Home or GoFlex Desk drive (see page 67 for instructions on removing and replacing
the drive in your GoFlex Home).
If you replace the current drive, you can store it as an archive of all your household backup
files, in case a problem occurs on someone's computer or an important older file is
overwritten or deleted by mistake.
For more information about additional GoFlex drives for your GoFlex Home, visit the Seagate
Web site at www.seagate.com
