After unboxing, one merely places the hard drive into the small cradle and follows the simple directions: make sure power switch is off, plug into power, plug into router (using included Ethernet cable), and turn on. The GoFlex Home system is fairly simple to configure, both the hardware and the software. But does it do enough for hardcore users? And will it keep normal users safe?
