Hi Michael, I have two in the office, a Netgear SC101 which works OK all the time and an Icy Box, The Icy box works OK until the power goes down, I live in the country and we suffer badly with power outs and they last too long for battery backup. The Icy box has to be switched on to get it back on line, it will not start-up automatically. Not a problem as I only use it for backup with stuff that I don't use regularly. It does however use Linux and will act as a Linux server. See http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=696370 I've sold over 30 of the SC101's and 3 of the Icy Box's. All my Clients are satisfied and I haven't had a single failure
The Icy Box is available to all on the Network but can be setup with folders only available to a group or a single user. The SC101 needs software on each computer that needs to access it. Don't know whether the Icy Box is available in the USA.

Anyone have any prefrerences? Anyone have one that reaslly sucked? We just bought a RAID 5 1 TB NAS for a client, but I don't want to spend $1,000. I'm only looking for 500 GB or so without any bells and whistles, to backup my hard disk and store junk off my laptop.
