Spider86,

This device is designed around home media and entertainment. Online storage is great, if you don’t plan on using large data files daily, otherwise it will be painfully slow and kill your monthly bandwidth usage. This device allows you to stream music with an iTunes capable device while your son watches “Cars” (for the 25th time this week) via a UPnP/DLNA capable media player and still be accessible externally when files are required on the fly. It is accessible via a Web UI, FTP, Samba and WebDAV. Most online storage services are cumbersome when it comes to uploading large amounts of data.

Cheers,
Roby!

I have the NAS version of this with FTP access and it is a very good product. Interesting to see this in action …

The advantage comes with uploading it in the first place – in the UK you’re lucky if you get anywhere near a decent upload speed, but if it’s on your own network it’ll be dead fast to copy files across.

Why back stuff up to this hard drive just so you can access it anywhere via the internet when you can just sign up to online storage facilities (such as adrive.com, box.net, drop.io etc etc) which do exactly the same thing?? only difference is the hard drive is their end not yours and can be upgraded to more space or less space as and when you need it.
