    It's fast. It's quiet. The backup program may not be the best in the world, but I don't need the best - it works and it works mindlessly, so backups actually get done. Apple's Time Capsule works with this just fine. I would like to have it shut down or sleep automatically at times, but you can't do this. I suppose that's generally not something you want from a NAS. I can't say enough good things about this product. Read more

    • Worked out of the box with Mac and XP and mindlessly in the background - and affordable: 2TB for $250!
