great product but a bit pricey

installation was a piece of cake, open a web page, search the LAN for the disk and you're done
price

Pay attention, RAID 1 is set by default, if you want something different you have to manually adjust it in the menu. in RAID1 you effectively have 4TB at your disposal, but fail save on 2 identical disks.

Review is 10 out of 10.

Finally a good backup system with countless other options

The device works well, but it is difficult to install at the beginning. It would be easier if there was a clear description of what software needs to be installed. CD's are outdated but a step-by-step list would be easy. I'm an older youngster so let's do some puzzling. But otherwise fine. Price quality ratio very good.
