Outstanding Product
Pros: Solid construction, great finish, runs cool. Easy physical setup and excellent configurability (notwithstanding the wonky English) via the browser interface. Very pleased - unbeatable price and the product does exactly what it says, and does everything a NAS unit should - NFS, SMB, etc - unlike some other NAS products which are outright misleading about how they go about 'sharing' the drives on the network (i.e., specialized drivers, etc). Haven't tried the BitTorrent featuers.
Cons: None, really, except the English is a bit hard to understand on some of the configuration screens - not that big of a deal.
Overall Review: I would (and have) recommend this product to others.
ZOOOM!
Pros: Just like a good sports car - seriously fast and beautiful. And unlike so many sports cars - a very, very good price and value for money. Killer video performance, great sound, excellent gaming machine & high end desktop replacement. Plenty of ports for just about everything. Big, beautiful display - very bright and crisp (and big). Yes, therer's a lot of OEM bloatware - those who complain of bloatware should just remove it - takes about as long to remove it as it does to write here and complain about it.
Cons: The only con is really just a reminder - this machine has two hard drives and two video cards as well as a big screen, so it has a 180 watt power supply. And the power supply is BIG. Also, as mentioned above, the bloatware seems excessive, but a small price to pay for the killer price.
Overall Review: Highly recommended - just know that you're buying a very big notebook.
