Good, but a few issues Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Well made, full featured, great price. Easy to set up, well thought out web interface. Fairly good performace - I get about 6MB/s writing my iTunes library to it (165 Gb). This is informal tho' - it was coming of a USB disk, so this could have been the bottleneck. Runs very quiet.
Cons: 1) Doesn't have an eSATA connector...

Awesome NAS unit I purchased one of these for a client of mine, and was so impressed with it, I bought one for myself.
