I wanted a device to store a wide range of movies, music and photos that I could share with my mac, ps3 and various other devices. Suffice to say that this little box does the job brilliantly. It works coherently with all the devices and whilst the CD doesn't contain the mac software you can still download it. The software supplied on the system allows you to organise and share your media and is easy to use and straight forward. The whole solution is just superb and brilliantly allows you to collate and share your entire media collection in one place. Also the device is smaller than you imagine and the box it comes in will deceive you further.

actually seems to do what it says on the tin - having spent several days a few years trying to configure a netgear router, I was ready to do battle with this shiny new box, despite the very positive reviews. I even went so far as to have a couple of whiskies to protect against IT rage. 15 mins later all done and dusted. Installation CD actually worked. Regular backup all scheduled. Been online and accessed said shiny box remotely. Probably all the NAS most of us need. Using windows 7 btw - netgear site said this shouldn't be a problem and so it proved.
