Maxtor Shared Storage II Reviews

We were so impressed with the Central Axis upgrade for the Shared Storage II at CES that we thought we'd check out the NAS itself prior to the official launch of that software. With 1TB of storage, will the SSII warrant a purchase, with it's higher price

Plenty of storage, Quiet when operating, Fastest NAS we've reviewed, Two USB ports for using printers and backing up

Not many features when compared to other products, Priced out of its league, Useless RAID 1 feature when drives aren't accessible, Issues with using the UPnP server, Bundled software was buggy

Drag and Sort feature, media and printer servers.

User interface could be more user-friendly.

The Maxtor Shared Storage II is a useful tool for simple file sharing and a basic backup system as long as you don't need any complicated power-user features.

Unlike most rivals and even smaller-capacity versions of the Maxtor Shared Storage II, this 1TB model comes complete with two built-in hard drives. In spite of this, it's compact and extremely quiet in operation

Huge storage, Auto-mirroring

Expensive

Performance is good, size is great - highly recommended if you can afford it

Lots of storage capacity, decent price, [theoretical] networkability

Impossible to set up; poor documentation; only runs on network.

Meine Empfehlung: keine Empfehlung.

Einwandfrei seit 12 Monaten ...

Bei uns läuft die Maxtor Shared Storage II 1TB als Netzwerk-Platte für gelgentliche Backups und als Zwischenablage für Mac & PC-Rechner. Und zwar seit einem Jahr ohne Probleme. Kann das Produkt nur empfehlen.
