I have one of these and it really sucks. Load up in excess of 15k music track and the media browsing functionality cumbles. Absolutely hopeless after two firmware updates. The last one being a major update claiming to fix this key issue. DNLA works 100%, cannot fault this unit when streaming to a PS3 and that it the only reason ive kept it. Ill just have to keep taking my arcos 605 to work for listening to music cause remote access to this just doesnt work with large music collections.

Looks great. Just a question, but isn’t this ReadyNAS with some modifications ? ReadyNAS uses NTI backup.

Well written review. I hope it does well in sales. I still think the market hasn’t caught on yet because no one is demonstrating the models the same way they demonstrate laptops/desktops. For the price of something like this (or my HP EX470), the peace of mind and sheer luxury of having a central repository for all data is a no-brainer.

The addition of the card-reader is a neat idea, and the LCD is cool, too.

I love the webinterface! We should have something like that for our WHS!

Great review Terry!
