I think I may be the first on the entire www. It is a great little device. Granted most people looking for a true backup solution will shun this for only having the single bay, but for my simple needs, I was fine with a single bay. I just can't bring myself to make a backup of a backup. I figure I'm ahead of the game for having the one backup. The unit itself is metal, and very easy to load the HDD (I am using a spare 750 gb I had laying around). Installation of the software was also very easy. I can mount various sub-folders within the server, which will make network backups a snap. The options for how you set this thing are limitless, and it really is not that difficult. I haven't tried to stream any media yet, but based on what I have seen thus far, I 'd say it will be great. If you are looking for a media server/NAS this can't be beat. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great features, performance just ok, reliability so-so By N. Erath This network drive enclosure has excellent features - background downloads, multimedia server, http and ftp servers - pretty much what ever you want to do is in there, and the price can't be beat. It has a cooling fan but runs very quiet, unnoticeable in my family room.Cons: Performance as a network disk drive is slow (I measured write speed at about 6 MB/s), not like accessing a true network server. I also find that every once in a while the unit would simply stop sharing the volumes, and a reboot is needed to correct it. I've also had difficulty getting external esata drives to work reliably, and now having enabled RAID-1 to an external drive I can't seem to convert it back to stand alone - no operational issue but the admin interfaces shows the unpaired internal drive as running "degraded".Overall tho, its a great value and does quite a lot. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Limited for use as Squeezebox Server By Daniel Clingaman I had to return the first NAS 210 due to a defect. ZyXel support was very helpful with trouble shooting the problem and determining that the device was defective. I bought it as a server for my Squeezebox Boom internet radio. The American site for ZyXel had an older version of Squeezebox Server (don't recall the number) that did not work. There were significant changes made to Squeezebox Server and only a later version (7.4.1)would work with the radio. A web search provided information on how to get a later version of Squeezebox Server for the NAS 210 through a European ZyXel site. This has worked fine for the SB Boom. However, I have subsequently purchased a Squeezebox Radio that can be operated with a battery. The SB Radio requires an even later version (7.4.2)of SB Server than that needed for the Boom radio. I contacted ZyXel and was informed that they have to purchase a license for the SQ Server from LogiTech/Squeezebox to be able to include it as part of the NAS 210. Apparently a new license must be bought for every upgrade of the SB Server software and they have not purchased the license for the version necessary to run SB Radio on battery power. This isn't a major big deal for me as I needed the server to listen to BBC IPlayer which does work with version 7.4.1. Personal music that is stored on the ZyXel 210 will not play on SB Radio without the later version (7.4.2). I believe the NAS 210 is also slower than some other servers and it does not allow me to stream to my radios at the highest audio quality available through Squeezebox. Still, it does MP3 just fine which is really good enough for my needs. The NAS 210 is a very affordable server with a surprising number of features for the price. I would recommend it.
