    Most reviewers complain about the slow speed (10Mbps) of this NAS system..

    10 Mbits/sec or 10 MBytes/sec?

    #2, 10 Mbps corresponds to 1 Mbytes/sec.

    #3, 10Mbps actually equates to about 1.25MBps. Smile

    You are right though, PC World tested the throughput as 4.7MBps, which is just terrible.

    Your money would be better served with a Drobo and its Gigabit Network adapter.

    I like this price, but am not pleased with the NAS200 reviews. I'm considering the D-Link DNS-323 and 321, both with gigabit ports. The reviews seem to be better. Any thoughts from anybody who has either?

    #5 - I have this item. The speed is extremely slow compared to a local drive. However, it's been rock solid and there are no problem streaming audio.

    For $80 which is less then I paid it is an excellent backup device to store offsite or even as a NAS.

    Grab any random old slimline OEM system from the past 8 years, throw a gigabit nic and SATA raid card in, presto you're done and have more than 2 drive capability plus more than triple the performance.
