Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Inexpensive But Unreliable:
Astonishingly unreliable NAS: I've had this thing for over a year. Six times I've been convinced it's cooked off a drive because it vanishes from the network and won't get back on. Each time it's just the NAS climbing a tree. Shares don't work. iTunes sharing doesn't work. It's a horrible print server. Tech support is completely unavailable - I once wrote them a "I can't get at my data please help!" email and they got back to me six months later. They've pushed a firmware update that doesn't work at all. They don't answer the phone.... You get what you pay for . . .: I knew when I put this extravagantly named device on my wish list that I was taking a risk. For under $500, the device contains to 500 GB drives, configurable as a single 1 TB volume or a mirrored 500 GB volume, is network-attached, and has a USB port for additional drives. The catch is that not a lot of quality control went into the device. When I first fired it up, I chose to reconfigure the drives from the default 1 TB to the mirrored configuration, which requires the drives to be reformatted. That... I had high hopes: In October 2007 was in the market for an inexpensive solution to store a large collection of documents, ebooks and family digital photos. This unit looked interesting and was the right price, so I bought it with my fingers crossed. It performed this task laudably for a few months until the fan got very noisy and started to have intermittent problems spinning up to dissipate the heat.
