I am now using a USB 2.0 interface with my GoFlex enabling it to mount, but the 3.0 connection is simply not working!
Any comments, tips or suggestions? I will of course be buying a new HD and trying to get my $ back for the GoFlex but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
Are there other suggestions for a 3.0 portable external that will 100% certainly work with the new mac USB 3.0 ports? I have a sordid and hellish history with WD so I'm apt to opt away from them. They have a history of sudden failure that I'm aware of by way of personal experience.

I think it's the drivers etc that are getting in the way, so maybe a very simple 2.5' HD with a seagate esata to 3.0 cable in a generic enclosure would do the trick?
