Review on Cisco-Linksys NAS200: Enhanced Network Storage System with Dual Bays by Sean Sheppard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

NAS200 transfer rate is SLOW!

I am very disappointed with the product! I wish I had done some research before buying, but with a trusted name like Linksys I figured I wouldn't have either. First, the transfer rate is very LOW! It takes days or weeks to download movies and music because you have to do it over the network. The network adapter is only 10/100, but even with that you still get a maximum of about 3 MB/s! It has 2 slots for internal hard drives, but you can't copy directly from one to the other! You can't copy external USB to hard drives directly, you have to do it via NET and map drives. Think it's too slow and want to connect your hard drive to your computer to transfer files? Forget it as the hard drive will be formatted read-only by the NAS! Transferring files over the network is not secure as only FTP is supported! Trying to connect remotely over NET with [.] is a tricky task, good luck! The device is not 100% bad. It has some features like UPNP and remote access, but there are others that are better, faster, more secure and with more features. Do a little research before you buy!
