    5 of 5 After initial setup you don't have to touch it. Friday, October 26, 2007
    A Customer from Jacksonville, FL  

    This device performs very well. When I got it I connected it to my network and navigated to the web-based configuration utility (I have not used the included software). Setup was a snap and the device has been very reliable. I signed up for a free account at dyndns.org and am now able to access my files via FTP from anywhere. I am using SyncToy; a free download from Microsoft that backs up files or folders that I specify. It is nice to know that my backups happen on their own and my chances of losing anything important on my PC is minimal. I have it connected to a 100 Mbps switch, so I have not been able to experience the full speed available for transferring files. I plan to get a 1Gbps switch and I am sure the difference will be night and day. Overall, I give this device a thumbs up! If you are looking for an affordable NAS device, you won't be disappointed with this.

    5 of 5 Couldn't be more user friendly Sunday, March 04, 2007
    Nitrousmaster from Snowtown, MN  
    It almost sets itself up. I use static ip addresses on my home network and usually have to manually configure everything I install. I plugged it into my network, it configured everything all by itself perfectly!! I couldn't hardly believe it. It has so many features for power users yet it would be good for a novice in that you just plug it in and it works. I looked at cheaper brands but this unit has the latest features and technology included in it and you just can't beat its value.

    5 of 5 Perfect Solution Monday, January 22, 2007
    Laura from Chantilly, VA  
    I have the Link Station connected to my router and I am able to store all the files on my laptop and desktop. I can access them from both computers and save back to the Link station without a problem. Just like a network server. I haven't found a single problem.
