Whats Included
- Seagate Central 2TB Personal Cloud Storage External Hard Drive (NAS)
- Ethernet cable, power supply
- Owner's manual
A: The 2 TB Central comes with all cables you'll need to hook it to your network; specifically a 3 foot Cat 5 network cable and the power cord. If you have an open port on your main router, just plug it in and you'll be in good shape. In the box was: the drive, power supply, Cat 5 Network cable, quick start guide and Seagate back up software. Everything you need; assuming the software recognizes the drive on your network. (see my review). I think the product description was trying to tell you the wi-fi router was not include; that you need to have. This drive hooks to an existing home network via the supplied cable.
Q: Can I set up Plex or windows media server with this
A: Not on this version. The new version, Personal Cloud, has Plex built in!
A: No, this device is a network storage server, it can not expand your local xbox storage.
Q: i have an lg 60" new tv . will i be able to access this from my smart lg lm600 tv?
A: I think so. Check to see if LG has the Seagate app in the LG App Store. My LG, which is WebOS, works just fine. Also, you can use a cheap cast stick like chromecast.
Q: USB port
A: No, its meant for backing up or ingesting other usb hard drives.
