Just look the persons shop, there are more there.

got mine up and running, and its pretty awsom so far :)

comes with a power lead, transformer, screws, usb leas, network patch lead, and even a little screwdriver... putting the drive in took about 3 min (at a guess)

took all of 5 min to setup via websetup thing, just had to format the drive, and enable anon. ftp read/write :)


copying stuff over to it right now... only getting about 4 meg / sec at the mo... where 8+ is more normal for ftp over the network... but I don;t know how much is down to the fact that Im only my old computer, and i dont have any speed info for my other nas drive.... :(

"feels" just as quick as the other one tho
much easier to set-up as well :)

Im going to buy another one...... right now !

How is the Samba support?  Can you give various levels of access?

so, its just making folders and passwording them for everyone

tho ftp has read/write options

That GUI looks naff :p

But if it works and you can access the HDD then its all good. I am thinking about getting one of these now too :s

Binary Shadow

bugger, all the good stuff is for sale when iv got no cash :( lol

Mardoni

lollerskates :)

Chances are mine will be forsale in the forums towards the end of the month ;) I have a short attention span and a huge ability to buy stuff I dont really need :)

If it cannot support NFS or CIFS itll be no good for what I want it for :)

knighty

yeah its fat32 only (fat32 is apparently suported by more OSs)

the gui does look a bit naff.... but it;s fifty times better than my other nas box which has a fancy gui !
