8.5MB/s is good on a 100mbps Network
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 28/08/2009
Some people don't seem to understand network speeds 8.5MB/s = 8.5bytes * 8bits which equals 68mbps - taking network overheads into account, and that this is a very rough calculation 8.5MB/s isn't that bad.
You could probably expect only about 20MB/s on a gigabit network - although that would be very conservative.

bad points explained
Reviewed by James. Review Posted 10/06/2009
This drive is exacly the same as the regular external HDD but with networking added in. Although it has gigbit ethernet it doesn't matter if your router switch only has fast ethernet i.e. 100mbps. This explains why many reviews say poor speeds. It has gigabit ethernet for lucky peoples who can get cable and use those loverly routers with gigabit eithernet switches. For now only 1 router i know of does gigabit ethernet and has a modem inside for BT connections and that is a poor quality Belkin. A few months down the line and we will probably see lots of gigabit routers, which can be used to speed up those transfer speeds to the full 1gbps or 125MBps. Good product to buy because its future proof (at least for a little while...).

When I pulled this out of my neatly packaged DABS delivery box, I couldn't wait to read through the manual or install the software, I popped it next to my router and plugged it straight in, then went off into the next room to boot my PC up. By the time the PC had booted up, the Lacie had started up and connected itself to the network. The storage was ready and waiting for me to start copying files. It took roughly 48 hours non-stop to back up about 240GB of music and photos using SyncBack over my Wifi, which is to be expected. I can now stream music and video anywhere in the house, and the drive is compatible with both my PC and my eMac (and my Nokia N81). I haven't even tried using the software, though I will to change the drive name at some point. This literally is the easiest network drive I have ever set up. FYI if the blue light annoys you then you can switch it off via the software.

Easy as 1-2-3
Reviewed by Chris Robertson. Review Posted 16/10/2008
Excellent piece of kit this, stylish, quiet and very easy to use.
No software required, particularly compatible with OSX Leopard without software.
The configuration is if anything too simplistic, very idiot friendly but leaving more advanced users probably wanting a bit more control.
UPnP-AV server works a treat with PS3, it really does just work.
Myy single only real gripe with this is that it has a gigabit LAN connection but won't even max out a 100megabit connection as the write speeds are quite slow, 8.5MB/s according to my macbook when using a wired connection.
For this money and how easy this is to use without additional software I would thoroughly reccomend this to anyone that could use some extra storage and has a router.

Reviewed by jangl3r. Review Posted 18/11/2008
The 1 TB Network Space is vast, but Very Slow. It took two and a half DAYS to back up a 500 GByte Lacie external hard drive via the front-panel USB port, 18.5 Megabits per second. I thought this port would be quicker as this is a direct connection not requiring the network.
To make it worse, there is no progress indicator - I managed to use windows to check that it was actually transferring data, otherwise it was impossible to know what was going on.
It's easy to set up, but only because there are practically no options.
With this amount of storage, you do need to be able to backup at a better speed than this, or you won't have time to do it. Furthermore, it eventually consumed all my system resources. Fortunately, because I was using the direct connection I could restart the computer without interrupting the backup.
You will get there, but not in a hurry.

Big storage, but flawed
Reviewed by Ian Beighton. Review Posted 27/12/2008
This simple NAS storage is simple, large, but flawed.
It frustratingly often fails to connect with my G5 iMac. But just not enough for me to through it out the window!
Seems to connect better to my Windows (XP & Vista) machines; but does not support mountable volumes and does not get recognised by certain applications (their problem - but still makes running things a right pain).
Yes it is slow, but can live with that.
It is not really a cheap alt for a Windows Home Server or Apple LifeDrive. It is really only useful as a backup/archive drive, not a network file server.

Avoid if you can
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 28/11/2009
Easy to install, but too slow...
Even when trasfering data via the USB port.
Also non of the backup software, including Lacies, works correctly with the date option. They also copied all the files everytime. Didn't expect this from Lacie.

AVOID if you are looking for any decent transfer speed
Reviewed by Steve. Review Posted 28/08/2009
I bought this drive looking for the fastest connection speeds for an external drive, mainly to use for storing movies and the like.
Don't make the same mistake as me! I have a G5 Mac Pro and the only way to connect is through the router, not straight from the mac, restricting your connection speeds to a trickle.
Trying to stream movies to my PS3 was a massive failure and would lose connection every 15 mins, hardly an exciting movie watching experience. Wouldn't even connect for streaming music!
It is easy to set up, and I imagine it is more Windows friendly. Although I never could get the ftp to work outside my network!
I got rid of it and got a 1.5TB internal drive for half the price, and got EyeTV to stream media to my PS3. A lot cheaper for a lot more storage.
There are much better media servers on the market. Don't be fooled by it's enticing good looks!

FAIL
Reviewed by Richard. Review Posted 27/08/2009
DON'T RISK IT!
The network part of the drive failed after a week. I did not return it as I was desperate to get my data off it, so I opened it up to access the drive, only to find that it was inaccessible due to some strange formatting. Obviously this voided my warranty. Luckily I had not deleted all the data that I had transferred onto it so I was able to retrieve it from another source.
So I connected the drive into my PC as an extra drive after formatting it. This worked fine except that after another 2 weeks the drive failed and again I lost all the data on it.
I don't know what is happening with HD's these days; it seems very hit and miss whether you get one that will last. I have to say I expected better from LaCie and Samsung.
