Pros: The comes from a reputable brand and is priced quite nicely. Oh yeah, I also have to mention that both my 4GB HDs using RAID mirroring works flawlessly. By the way, all my electronic devices are Apple products but I'm sure Windows would have no problems at all.

I'm also using the backup feature and works flawlessly but it does take quite a while initially. Although it would be a nice feature, I'm still satisfied since XBMC can do this w/o having iTunes involved. The iTunes server was a bit misleading as iTunes will still have to be air played to other devices meaning that a computer is still required and will have to retrieve the files from the NAS and then air play it to other devices. I'm using XBMC to watch videos and music directly off the NAS. I also like the managed features of allowing which user can read, write, or even see certain folders on the NAS. The first thing I noticed is the fast response time compared to the timecapule, all my devices on the same network had no problems reading/writing to the NAS. Overall Review: I bought this NAS device when my Apple Timecapsule hard drive started to act up and provide problems.

Should I mention that the manual is quiet about this? Guess what? No one from your list of authenticated users is allowed! Thanks google somewhere on the web I found If you setup the torrent client (accessible via web interface it will prompt you for a password. Manual is a bit useless, only trials and errors. Overall, this appears to be a good hardware but setting it up was not so simple.

Researched and researched on google and found a recipe that worked:ĭuring this update my drive was fully reformatted but finally everything was setup correctly. Plugged it in, ran the updater, again 'No partition found'. Luckily, I had an old 1 Tb drive, which I could allow it to reformat. OK, I downloaded the firmware 1.63-0.04, opened the updater program but it complained 'No partition found'. Often it refers to menu items and options that don't exist (maybe because of the EM).

This EM would not let me to setup anything, users, access, etc. When I first turned this thing on (without any hdd) it was detected on the network OK, but appeared to be in 'emergency mode' (EM), suggesting that immediate firmware update was required. So I was very careful not to destroy its contents.

Overall Review: My plan was to use a hdd that was half full of files. And that drive will be reformatted! So, you cannot just plug your old hdd full of files, as they will be lost! Most important: it requires a hard drive to be plugged in BEFORE the NAS can complete its initial setup. Help/manual is NOT included (even on CD, to save space apparently), it forwards you to a web page.
