 Great price for a RAID capable network accessible storage device September 7, 2008
Zachary Sherry (El Cerrito, CA)
I originally purchased the single drive version of this unit, but decided after that I was not satisfied with the data protection on just one drive.
Upon receiving the unit it is initially configured to span both drives creating a 1 Terrabyte partition for data storage. It took about 3 hours for the unit to fully complete the re-configuration process to enable RAID 1 mirroring which cuts usable space from 1 TB to approx. 500 GB due to all data being stored on both drives.
Once the unit was setup it was easily accessed and transfer was easily accomplished from the existing unit.
There does seem to be a longer delay when accessing the share that is automatically setup by the client software on your local computer. If you directly map a drive access is as fast as your local network will allow.
Remote access uses the "Mionet" software and will allow remote access to files on the drive and any powered local PC's if you are accessing remotely. This is enhanced if you have the client software installed on the remote PC by allowing the drive to appear as if it's local (it's still as slow as the network connection you are on).
You will need to pay extra for the enhanced Mionet services including the remote desktop access feature, wait for them to send you a deal notification before purchasing at full price if you like this feature.
Knowing the limitations, overall, I am very satisfied with this unit.
