For some strange reason after starting it my internet speed came at a slow crawl, I could not even check my email, then I came to realize that it was throttling all my bandwidth, there should have been some kind of optimization here, it should use a limited amount of bandwidth and leave the rest of other applications to use. It is slower than normal copy paste so when you are setting it up and starting it do realize that it will take a long time to back up everything.

Pros: sleek and small, works with windows, runs silently
Cons: throttles internet speed, is very slow, get hot

I liked the design very much, it is sleek and looks very good, it runs silently and does not cause disturbance and even though I’m not quite sure about it, I don’t think it absorbs much power because it is a tiny device. It works very well with Time Machine and you can use this even on a Windows machine, I have tested it on my Windows 7 and it worked quite well. Be careful if you access it while is running it gets very hot.

Pros: great sleek look, silent operation, less use of power
Cons: gets very hot, slows down network, takes a lot of time to back up.

The installation is very simple and you will be up and running in about two minutes, you the manual setup if you want to change the security setup and make other general changes, if you don’t know much about these stuff I advice you against it – just opt of easy installation. There are chances that you might lose data while transferring so check it carefully during setup. You can also use this as an external hard drive and use it to store music, movies etc.

Pros: cool design, lots of space, easy setup
Cons: uses a lot of bandwidth while backups, backups are sometime very slow, gets hot
