Title: Not so Simple
Product review: This is the first NAS device I bought, hoping to use it for backing up all my PC's and laptops at home. Sharp looking device with good potential but not as simple as the name indicates. It has a slow CPU and is limited to 10/100 Mbps network (1000 Mbps is standard on most other NAS servers). The SimpleShare worked for a total of 15 mins after which it showed consistent permission errors. The drive failed to attach (or publish) itself to the Windows network. Having networked offices nationwide, I'm fairly familiar with the diagnostic routines. After two days however, I gave in and called SimpleTech support. Over the course of two additional days (and long hold times), I spoke to 3 different people, neither of whom could help me solve the problem. Two of them actually suggested I should just return (not exchange!) the product and find something more suitable. In the end, I took their advice.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
