Pros: Good performance; easy setup; cheap price (at time of purchase)

Cons: Failed after less than three years. Not just an occasional click and a few bad sectors, but it completely fails to show up in the BIOS in any computer I've tried, so nothing can be recovered.

Pros: Solid enough; metal (as opposed to plastic) helps to draw heat from hard drive.

Cons: Limited mounting options. I used this for a small case that only had bottom mounting holes in the 5.25" bay, so I had to add side holes to mount this in the bay. Works fine with the case mod, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time.

Pros: - Web interface is attractive and simple - Software allows access to remote folder as network drive - Easy to view videos and photos in a nice slide show

Cons: - Very slow to start up when it hasn't been used for a couple of hours or more - Frequently forgot about the external drive attached to it (I tried a couple of them) and had to be rebooted on site to access my files -- defeats the purpose of remote access

Overall Review: It's a great idea for a product; I just don't understand why it's so unreliable after a few generations. I'm upgrading to a proper NAS with a SATA port*. *Mind you, these things actually do have a SATA port on the inside, which you can use if you jailbreak them and install ArchLinux, but why spend all that time jailbreaking when you can get a better product to begin with?
