"I use it to storage my pictures (RAW + JPG) so i don't have to care much about the space and i have the security of mirroring in case one hard drive fails.

The performance of this device is pretty good, specially if you change it from RAID 1 (mirroring, by default) to RAID 0 (stripping) so you can …"  Read Full Review »

The only issue was on the install in that several options for software installation were given, however, many of …"  Read Full Review »
