 Nothing as good at the price February 6, 2008

Some shortfalls in this drive have been noted in other reviews here (e.g. NTFS/FAT32), but I could not find any other network drive at anything approaching the same price.
This drive was easy to set up as a network drive. The manuals are on the installation CD, and it is worth looking at them before starting the installation, possibly even printing the main user manual off for reference. You will at least need to get the administrator username & password.
My only gripe is the "shadow" backup software that is supplied with the drive does not work for me. I have now installed and uninstalled 3 times and tried various back-up scenarios, but the software keeps crashing. It may be because I am running the dreaded Windows Vista (don't get me started on that!) and it may be fine on a different operating system, but my experience of it has been poor.
But the drive itself and it's administration software are fine.
 A bit dodgy February 24, 2008

Works faultlessly as a usb drive
but as a NAS it crashes in certain situatations requireing turning off, disconnect mapping, connnect as USB delete the now corrupted file that caused the crash (if you dont it will continue to crash), then reconnecting lan, then remapping drive, from reasearch it seems this is an XP only issue not vista but still...I have identified the things that make it crash, i.e. viewing thubnails on bmp files just after a transfer, trying to transfer files that are being accessed by a program or another computer, using the nas to view other folders on the drive while a transfer is taking place to another folder on the drive. Basically it works if you do a transfer and wait for that transfer to finish before doing anything else on with the drive, then it will work fine. anyway you get the idea,
if anyone reads this and thinks its my admitedly lacking IT skills at fault and not the drive please leave a comment.
