Seagate GoFlex Home and Backup Plus Compatibility

[Brian224]

I am currently using a pair of Seagate Goflex Home 1TB drives for network attached storage and would like to add a larger drive. Does anybody know if the current Backup Plus drive (STCA2000200) will fit the Goflex Home network adapter, and if the Goflex home will connect using the Backup Plus USB adapter?

I know I could just open the casing and fit a larger drive, but as the Backup Plus is only a tenner more than a bare drive, I would prefer to go that route if possible.

Thanks
Brian

Having bought a Backup Plus drive I can confirm that it is completely compatible with Goflex Home, and vice-versa, which lets me answer my own question. One difference is that the Backup Plus casing is ventilated, which will hopefully keep the temperature below the 65 degrees reached by the Goflex Home.
