Just what I needed
Pros: Small size Built in USB cable
Cons: Maybe the cable length, but no problem for me. A little surprised that it doesn't shut off when you eject it in Windows (XP), but haven't had a problem.
Overall Review: This drive is just what I needed to keep my data handy at all times. The size is great, and the case is durable. The built in USB cable is exactly what I wanted for a portable drive. No fuss with a cable. No power needed. I'm using it with an older HP laptop (nx6125) with no power problems. I'm just using the built in cable. It did come with a USB power cable but I haven't needed it. I have no complaints so far. No problems with speed, I'm running it fully encrypted (using TrueCrypt).
USB Storage limit
Pros: Easy setup, good features
Cons: USB hard drive size limit is 300GB. Not in any documentation. Had to talk to Linksys support to find out.
Overall Review: Good overall, but I wouldn't have bought it if I had known of the 300GB limit. No good to me now.
Problems like everyone else
Pros: Easy setup - when it saves the settings. Lots of features - when they work.
Cons: My big problem has been with the Storage Link. Sharing is flakey, works sometimes, doesn't sometimes. My concern is data integrity. Sometimes folders disappear and don't show up again until a power cycle. Often get read, write, or permission errors. Linksys support determined it is defective, but I am pretty certain that the replacement will be no better.
Overall Review: I really want this to work because it provides features that I need to use. Not expecting much though. This might just end up being a plain old wireless router for me.
