    "BEWARE - don't lose your important data with this thing"

    by holmesdw on January 4, 2009

    Pros: the fact that it is a NAS

    Cons: Overheats
    Locks up with flashing red lights
    Complete loss of many gigabytes of data
    HUGE waste of time
    MASSIVE loss of data

    Summary: Don't even begin to consider this drive if your intention is to use it to store data... It will store it ok but, without warning, will lock up hard as a rock (what it has now become) and any stored data will be completely inaccessible.

    Despite numerous attempts for assistance, Seagate customer / technical support has not even bothered to reply at all... Don't waste your time and money here.
