Good Backup - Will work with Moderate Server Usage!

Pros: Solid, Great onsite backup with disaster protection, Awesome Tech Support.

Cons: 4K drive, Wish it was a 2 drive system (Raid) for the price.

Overall Review: I recently purchased this external drive to be used as a weekly backup solution for a client. The disaster protection was a major plus for my client. My client has 5 workstations backing up to a server and we had outgrown our server's backup solution. The server is running MS Server 2008 R2 like most small offices nowadays. I ran into a big problem with the sector size on the new system. 4K drives (2.2TB+) are NOT compatible with MS server 2008. Symantec backup exec and windows server backup would generate I/O errors upon backing up! This was on me to fix and IOSafe came thru for me! The device is not recommended for servers on the company website but is not advertised that way on Newegg. The company has had the forsight to have a firmware update for the drive that will re-sector the drive to use 512E sectors which Win7/Server 2008 can backup to. They still don't recommend it as a server backup but we only backup weekly as the amount of data generated is not huge. The guys in the tech support department were solid. The firmware upgrade was a breeze and my client and I are ecstatic! Only major con is I wish it was a 2 drive array in raid for redundancy.

Pros: Great Price, 60" TXH certified, awesome refresh rate and blacks. Fast Shipping. Easy to Setup. Internet Apps update automatically, new ones added over time. Single pane of glass so it is stunningly good looking TV.

Cons: This TV is in a windowless basement theater room, so it looks great, but there is still some glare on it at times from the can lights in the ceiling.

Overall Review: I put in an Ethernet line to the TV while the room was under construction so I have amazing network speeds on this set, streaming video from VUDU or Netflix in HD is not a problem (based on ISP as well obviously). I would recommend this set all day long.
