Maxtor Shared Storage Plus Drive (300GB)

Pros: Easy to set up and use, slick design

Cons: Too many bugs

Summary: Might suffice for home use, but not for business: The timestamp on folders and .exe files is constantly updated all by itself. This creates problems when backing up the drive or running programs that check your license using the timestamp of some folder. This alone makes the product unusable to us. Minor issues to european users are: timestamp format defaults to us, european setting disregarded. Access privilege settings disregarded. Without the bugs it would have been a great product. Maxtors phonesupport deserves credit, though. I waited 20 secs tops and a very knowing and honest guy told me that the timestamp issue was a known bug. A solution was not in sight for weeks or maybe even months. He was not even sure whether a firmware upgrade could solve the problem...
