Great idea. Bad performance

Strengths: Design, portability, expansibility

Weakness: Network performance. Internal data transfer.

Thats a great Idea. People must understand that it must work in Network. Have a NAS using like a pendrive only, buy a pendrive. Its NAS. That was the design I liked. Black, silver for my Dell computer design. The two bay HDD is so great Ideal. Also for RAID 0 or 1. The 2 USB ports, perfect Idea too. I can put external Usb HDD, pendrive, so perfect. I didnt put it in RAID 0 option (that would...

Reasonably Priced Dual Drive NAS

Strengths: Nice black color. Takes two drives for Raid 1. Can connect two USB drives when needed. Extremely simple installation process.

Weakness: Not quiet when running, but you can set the fan to turn off after 10 mins of inactivity. Speed over wireless is not great, but that just might be my wireless setup.

You can get it for just $100. Can upgrade extremely easily. A good budget NAS. Will not recommend this if your purpose is use move huge video files. I would recommend this for any casual user that wants a home NAS.

Review of NAS200

Strengths: Removeable/replaceable drives, raid, web interface, quiet, price.

Weakness: No USB 2.0 connection to a host. Network performance slow. Performance slow for scan disk such as after power-fail, box may not respond.

Nas200 ommits a BT function (e.g. coolmax cn-570). Copying to drive is slow over network and there is no other copy mechanism (e.g. through USB from another drive or host). Probably not a good choice for several simultaneous users/sessions.

Awful Design

Strengths: Ease of installing drives, expandability, price.

Weakness: Heat dissipation problems.

I am editing my original review to show longer term experience with this device. Here is my original comment: The device was easy enough to install but has some software shortcomings. I am trying to map drives to it from Windows Vista Ultimate and for some reason I get prompted for the password every time. I have talked to Linksys and they can't seem to find an explanation. This is my current...

NAS200 Network Storage Enclosure

Strengths: The hard drives can be installed by simply slipping them in the drive bays.

Weakness: This device does not have a Gigabit ethernet connection.

Basically, I bought this device because it was cheap and because it was made by Linksys like my router. Although this device does the job, it is a little slow. Maybe the next model will be a little better.

NAS200

Strengths: compatible with 1TB drives, web browser, media server

Weakness: must overheat because it constantly shutsdown, copies over 50gb are slow (real slow) even from laptop with 1gb, gigabit switch and this device as the only things attached.

I agree with pgonza02, I have had the similar overheat problems. I have two 1TB drives in a RAID 1 and this device would constantly shutdown. The device always must be doing a rebuild of some sort aft

Supports my needs...

Strengths: Very easy to install the drive(s), nice small form factor, has two USB ports for the installation of additional external drives, nice back-up software included with the unit.

Weakness: Security features are not provided for USB drives attached, back-up software (NTI Shadow) is for PCs only.

I purchased this unit to provide back-ups of important documents and files for all of the computers in the house (Macs and PCs). After unsuccessfully trying to build one from an old PC, I tried this unit. The first unit was defective and would shut down anytime you plugged a hard drive into the USB port. After exchanging the unit for a new one, things got better. I have two GB drives installed...
