Very satisfied
Using this unit primarily for backups (i.e. as a 2nd copy). Very satisfied so far. Only thing I didn't like so far is the backup software (downloaded separately) which doesn't handle differential backups. More >>

Best NAS device out there, if you have networking know-how
This NAS device is one of the best devices available for the money, although does require you know something about networking to fully utilize. More >>
