2.0 out of 5 stars This NAS-ty is SLOW!, July 9, 2009

By	Federico Villamayor "pidong" (houston, tx) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

it hasn't even been two months since i got this and it's already lagging.
It's got two drives set on raid 1, meaning the drives are working redundantly or mirrored.

Downloading from an external ftp site is 100 times faster than downloading the same file from this server within the same network with the ethernet cable connected... 2 ethernet ports connected to this NAS.

no point of even serving media when all you hear is a sound every 30 to 60 seconds because of the slow stream.

maybe i have a defective one. but geez! that means quality control sucks!

to top it off, the people on their tech support know nothing to fix this.

SEAGATE, Contact me if you find a solution to this and i'll retract this statement.
