![]() Even though we investigated this issue, we couldn't figure out why this would happen to some users. Several users have reported that they can't connect to U-Boot with clunc anymore after installing Debian (meaning they can't restore the original software or re-install Debian). Make sure to connect the cable to port 1. The Seagate NAS (4-Bay) has two Ethernet ports. When a connection is obtained, you should be able to see the U-Boot prompt: We'll use 192.168.1.102 as the example IP address: You have to pass an IP address to clunc in order to open a network console. If clunc is not running, your Seagate device will continue the boot process. When the Seagate device boots, it will wait a few seconds to see if clunc is requesting a network console. You can now use clunc to connect to U-Boot's network console. Since clunc is currently not packaged for Debian (see the Request for Package), you have to obtain it from the Git repository and compile it yourself: There's a tool called clunc which can be used to connect to U-Boot's network console. We will use this to load Debian installer and to configure the boot loader to boot Debian from disk. The Seagate Personal Cloud and Seagate NAS devices allow you to connect to U-Boot, the boot loader, via the network with the use of U-Boot's network console feature. This warning does not apply to the Seagate NAS (2-Bay and 4-Bay) on which the original Seagate software can be re-installed with a web interface even after you format the disk. We therefore suggest you create a disk image before you install Debian. The Personal Cloud devices come with the Seagate NAS firmware pre-installed and there is no easy way to re-install the Seagate NAS firmware after you install Debian. Amazon’s website says it’ll begin shipping on December 10th.Please note that the Seagate Central (STCG) is not supported. ![]() I’m willing to overlook sheer performance for the convenient, worry-free backup system that you get with the Seagate and Amazon Drive - particularly now that the Time Capsule is history. It’s a USB 3.0 connector, so hopefully it’s capable of satisfactory-if-not-blazing speeds. Seagate only says it’s capable of “quick local transfer speeds” without providing numbers. This is a physical 1TB HDD, so don’t expect SSD speeds when backing up or moving files onto the Duet. If you return the Duet, Amazon says it will likely reduce your 12 months of unlimited Drive storage down to three, which beats taking it away altogether, I guess.You’ve got to redeem the promo code within two months of buying the hard drive if you want the year’s worth of unlimited cloud storage.Not valid for current Amazon Drive Unlimited Storage paid subscription customers.Amazon’s listing for the Duet (the only way to buy it right now) confirms as much, but there’s some fine print. If you’re new to the Drive service, Seagate claims you’ll get a year of unlimited storage just for buying the hard drive, which normally costs $59.99 annually. Drag and drop files over, and you’ll be able to access them from the web or Amazon’s Drive app on smartphones and tablets. Getting set up with the cloud backup process requires plugging in the drive, signing in with your Amazon account - and that’s pretty much it, from the sounds of it. Both a physical backup and Amazon’s reliable S3 cloud infrastructure is a pretty killer combination. ![]() The Seagate Duet drive’s contents are cloned to Amazon Drive, so you can be pretty confident that your important stuff will be safe. Seagate and Amazon have partnered up on a $99 1TB external hard drive that automatically backs up everything stored on it to the cloud.
