Title: so slow as to be unusable
Review: I bought this device over competing products because of the price and because it supports gigabit ethernet. After having used it for about 2 weeks I fail to understand what the point of putting gigabit ethernet on a device that's not even capable of keeping up with USB speeds. I attached my external USB drive to this box and copied a 20GB folder from it to my local hard drive. It took approximately 20 hours (1GB / hour). The same copy on the same USB drive plugged directly into my computer via USB took about 20 minutes (1GB / min). When I called Buffalo tech support to complain they claimed this was not a defect, but just how it's designed! This seems unacceptable to me.
Is the review positive or negative?
