I have recorded about 150 MG in the NTFS HDD.It shows no memory used in the brows mode or in the USB connection to the computer.It also crashes as I try to record more.I have tried to delete the videos and it crashes. Therefore, it is useless for me now.I tried to contact the customer support and they kept telling me it is a hardware issue. Even though it is a memory corruption issue ( Software issue). They did notsend RMA and the experience I had is very bad. Therefore, I can not use this product anymore and no solution to it.The only option is to reformat the HDD. But, it will not solve the issue. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Good product By R. Baldin HelloThe product is good, the finishing is very beautiful and the remote control has all device's functionality.I had an issue with the product, I bought from Amazon and it didn't work as I expected. I couldn't do anything as advertised in the product description. I contacted the Cirago support and they couldn't solve my problem. They ask me to do RMA, but they said I had to pay both shipping (to send the product and to receive it back), the total was almost a half of what I paid for the product. NO WAY! I knew it was not a hardware problem, so I had to open it (avoiding the warranty), debugged the problem and fix it by myself.My complain is about the Cirago's support, they should care more about the customer, try to understand their problems and give them simple solutions.Other thing I didn't like is related with the firmware, it is not updated so often, they have been released only two firmware versions until now. They should add and release new firmwares with new functionalities frequently.Besides all this, after I fixed the product it started working as I expected.500GB of storage, I can store all my medias inside it.It has HD spin down functionality to save energy.The NAS functionality is good, but we cannot rename the shared folders.As it has a Linux OS inside, we can add more programs on it as torrent download manager, apache+php server (I did it because my product warranty was void, may be if you do that you will void the warranty).You can also access it over the network using the Telnet protocol.**I'm happy now with the product working fine.** 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Audio sync issues By Phades I bought this product from Fry's electronics as an impulse buy mainly for my girlfriend to use to watch shows she misses on TV. I should have done more research on the unit. If I try to use the feature to pause or rewind live feed signal (tv or whatever else would be plugged in), the audio will get out of sync with the picture of the unit. The same is true with any standard recording function used by the device. The data stored on the unit will play back without sync issues though, as i have tested by using a remote connection through my home network on a desktop PC. The only way to restore the audio and video sync with the unit is to shutdown and restart the unit. This is rather frustrating as it makes one feature of the device completely unusable right out of the box.Another nuisance with the unit is that it only has one signal in option and it is not a HDMI or similar quality input. This means any standard feed going into the unit will not be HD, despite the unit attempting to upsample the data to an HD signal going out. This means that there is no true HDMI feature about this product, unless you were able to import a HD signal via a home network from a remote device. At which point i would question why you would use this unit in the first place if you had that capability without it and simply connect your network enabled, or USB enabled, TV to a external storage device and import data that way. Also, this device has no capability out of the box to
