Haggard To start out I am a System Administrator, technology is what I do while at work and when I get home I want something that's going to be easy to use and that works. I've had the Verbatim MediaShare 1tb home network storage server up and running for only a couple days but so far I am very happy with it. I have used the media server in 3 different roles so far as I try to figure out exactly the right role for this device in my home. I started out using it as a share point to store files I needed to get access to everywhere. On the side of being a Sys Admin I also fix computers on the side so it's great having all my files in one location so when I am at a clients house I can connect to the drive and retrieve any files I am needing to fix their computer. The Storage server worked great in this area and it felt very secure, however I seemed to have better performance using my current web storage service I subscribe to so for me this wasn't the optimal role as most my files are very large This did work great with smaller files like word documents and spreadsheets. Next I tried using the media network storage server as an Apple Time Machine backup drive. Previously I was using a local USB drive; the thought of a network storage device was appealing. It didn't take much to get apple to see the device and prep it to be used as a time machine backup drive, very simple setup. And the response time was pretty snappy when browsing the time machine backup. Granted, i only had a few hours of backups on the drive and I am curious as the backups go from hours to months if the drive will still be as quick, but so far I am impressed. But since I already had an exteranl drive I was using this didn't seem like the optimal fit. The last thing I tried is what I think this box will truly be in my house A media server to share videos. On initial tests I ripped a few DVD's and put the video files on the media server and did a few tests. First I tried streaming to an Xbox 360 on my network and it had some issues initially connecting however once the connection was established it performed better then I expected. Next I tried to stream to a PC on my network, that to worked perfectly. The third test was the real external test. I fired up my laptop, jumped on my verizon wireless aircard and attempted to stream a movie, at first I wasn't sure if it was working as designed as the video appeared to buffer for a very long time, however I also noticed I had issues connecting to websites so I disconnected from verizon and reconnected and attempted the stream again, this time it started playing very quickly, I believe this was an issue with the verizon network and not so much the media share server. overall I'm very happy with this storage server with my various tests, I could see how it would be best for me and I think I will this primarily as a video streaming server for free and satisfied a lot of space on my use of other computers. This drive operates very quietly and in recent days has not warmed to the touch as much as I thought it would be. I am happy with this and it would for anyone recommend a network storage server. This is a very universal product, and for me has many ways to use it. I mention performance of your network will determine the quality of the server, how long it takes to file, etc. For external access, you really need to move a high-speed broadband Internet connection. If your connection is slow or unreliable service for accessing your files is significantly influenced from the outside. ***********UPDATED 7/15/2010************* FYI, I just found out that there IS a iphone app to allow you to access your media content on your iphone and ipad! Simply go to the apple app store and download HipServ Now it's not the best app, but it is the official app for.
