Title: After 1.5 Years - Not Being Used
Product review: The Maxtor unit was easy to plug into the back of my Linksys router. However, the instruction booklet was deceivingly too brief and the poor documentation was insufficient for me to correctly name the drive, set my accesses and partition. Poor support from Maxtor led me to hire an outside CompUSA tech after 2 months.Due to my house's configuration, the ideal location of router, cable modem and Maxtor unit is in the master bedroom. At night the unit has a constant "presence". In the summer, the cooling fan is often on.End result, this Maxtor unit is not being used and is turned off. I do use it when I update one of our 4 workstations but the transfer rate is not a fast as hoped for.Our preferred backup method is now 2 megabyte SD cards.
