Don't. Further reading has revealed that this class of device has
extremely low throughput (over both SMB and FTP) - in the case of the
DI-624S, only about 500k/sec. Newer devices, eg. Asus WL-600g, still
deliver less than 2M/sec. About 5min to download a 512Mb card.

Something of an impulse buy I know, but I picked up a 600GB external
drive from Noel Leeming over the weekend. $199 seemed like a good
price. Of course the packaging says nothing about LInux, which I
pointed out to the sales assistant who looked at me blankly and
assured me they had a 7 day, no questions, return policy.
Not surprisingly as Don say, my Linux boxes talk to it perfectly....
plug it in to your D-link device and you could have a half decent web
server and NAS setup for under $400!
