LaCie Ethernet mini 500GB - Excellent product,

This review is from: LaCie Ethernet Disk mini 500 GB ( 300951U ) (Personal Computers)
This is an excellent product for someone looking to centralize backups and all types of files on a home network. I have used this disk for the past year and it is excellent, We have both Windows PCs and a Mac on the network (wired and WiFi) and it works great!Just remember path names and that data transfer speeds are not that of a direct-attach drive... I am ordering more to try multiple net drives. Great product.

Excellent Network Hard Drive - Tricky implementation under Windows,
This review is from: LaCie Ethernet Disk mini 500 GB ( 300951U ) (Personal Computers)
I have only had the LaCie for a month but so far there have been no problems and the price/performance can't be beaten. The speed is what you would expect (i.e. fast with USB 2.0 and acceptable over a wireless network). The ability to be able to have a central storage spot for all my photos, backups and other files is great- I would reccomend this to anybody considering it.The only problem is implementation under Windows XP. The bundled instructions just didn't work on three different XP boxes (they suggest using Windows networking). The only way to get it to work is to find the ip address with the 'IP configurator' program and then map the drive using windows explorer. After you do this it works just fine. It was a breeze to set up with my Macbook pro.

This review is from: LaCie Ethernet Disk mini 500 GB ( 300951U ) (Personal Computers)
We purchased this device for a small business network with 15+ computers. All our files were on one computer when we had only a few computers and then we quickly outgrew that setup. We recieved quotes from people about a file server in the $2000+ price range. This Lacie was an AMAZINGLY good find.It was a lot less expensive and for our simple needs it works beautifully. It has only one button (Power On) and you just plug in the ethernet right in the back. We copied the files from the computer to this drive. That was it. All the computers could see it right away. The web interface was very self explanatory. You add a user, then you go into shares an define what users you want to have access to it. Setup of the actual device was less than 5 minutes. What is even nicer is that we can set up multiple shares (folders) and give specific access to certain people (users). We can even set up read only access for files that we don't want users to modify. For a quick, simple, effortless and inexpensive solution, I give this 5 stars.
