"works like a charm, perfect file storage" on by eaz2
Pros: No windows installation required, I do share between windows 7, vista and Ubuntu on the same network without problems.
It is not the fastest machine, but very acceptable. Cost is just a little more than two TB harddisks. I replaced my synology 106eCons: the backup software is an older version/rebranded acronis trueimage. As soon as I installed it, it blocked my (latest) version of trueimage and I had to reinstall my full version.
Summary: very competitive price
works without any problem on win7, vista and ubuntu
installs within minutes
requires Gigabit network to reach full speed (as most nas)

Also be careful of Acronis if you try to do a bare metal restore. Trueimage typically gives you an error message if you try a bare metal restore, but with special software that is very difficult to locate on Acronis website it can be done. If you need bare metal protection, look elsewhere.
