An Excellent Network Storage and Backup Solution!

"The Media Vault has made it very easy (finally) for me to put all my files in one place that everyone on my home network can access. Here's what's great about it: 1. It's very easy to install. Just plug in the power supply, plug the included ethernet cable into your router, turn it on, and it's ready to go. The Media Vault is one of the more attractive techno doo-dads out there, so you're not forced to hide it..." Read Full Review »

Great concept, but poor execution

"Let me preface by saying that perhaps I got a defective unit. I purchased this unit from Amazon and couldn't wait to set it up. Unfortunately, I've had several problems with it from the get go. I set it up and all was fine. Then I started copying my music and videos over from my PC. I happened to copy some files that were flagged as read only and those attributes carried over. Unfortunately, with those rea..." Read Full Review »

"I haven't had much experience with the Windows Home Server version of HP's MediaSmart servers, but the HP MediaVault seems to offer a good deal of its functionality at HALF the cost.



True, you can't stuff as many hard drives in this unit as a MediaSmart server but the typical home, the environment …"  Read Full Review »

HP got it really right with this product

★★★★★
5.0

"This is a surprisingly good product. The device itself seems to me to be a great value. The software is easy to install (i.e., no install failures) and at least for me, easy and intuitive to use (i.e., no need to read the manual). The cool features, like the built-in iTunes server works without any …"  Read Full Review »

"UPDATE: They now seem to know why this out of disk space error occurs. The file system is optimized for large files; ie MP3's, JPEG's, MPEG's, etc. The MediaVault 2120 is a Linux File EXT3 system and is formatted for a maximum of 473,000 files/folders on a 500 GB disk. That may sound like a lot …"  Read Full Review »
