Most Favorable Review

Great, although a dead pixel

Pros: Low cost, fast response, 1440x900, wide screen, DVI, small bezel

Most Critical Review

Died on me after a year

LACIE 301156U 1TB Ethernet Big Disk
LACIE 301156U 1TB Ethernet Big Disk

Pros: Low cost, 1tb, gigabit, uPnP, small form factor, ability to connect other USB drives.

Cons: Not many options for a tech enthusiast or anyone who wants better user control to device. Slow (web) interface. Power supply gets pretty hot and after a year died on me. If you decided you want to connect this NAS directly to your machine via USB, in windows it creates a virtual network adapter. Hopefully you have windows because in Linux it doesn't work out of the box.

Overall Review: I like to write a review after a year. This drive actually has two hard drives inside.
