Buy something else. This is not reliable.

• speed over the network cable
• Unreliable software

After more than a year of use and some firmware upgrades, this product still does not meet the basic requirements. It sighs and puffs and moans, without doing any real work.
The software hangs very quickly, so that when you access it remotely, you cannot access your data. You will not receive a notification (no reboot suggestion) so that you immediately (and often unnecessarily) tinker with your network settings.
