I'm a serious enthusiast and Unix/Linux systems guy. However, I also understand the need for easy, out of the box solutions.This device? It rocks for me and for my proverbial mother. Actually, my mother doesn't yet own one, but she should! It is easy to use and configure, although the manual is quite lacking. You'll want to use a wired connection if you want performance, but enthusiasts might still find the performance lacking compared to a PC or high-end NAS solution. However, for the price, this thing delivers for novices and entusiasts alike.------------------------Blow-by-blow review below:------------------------Before I get to all the great things about it, lets set expectations:* This device is priced only a few dollars more than a bare drive.* Performance is about 22 MB/s (160mbps) for Windows and Apple file sharing. This is faster than your WiFi, however. Use a wired connection.* Performance jumps to 45 MB/s for insecure FTP!* Included instructions are lacking. The device is EASY to setup, but you need to find the instructions online.The good things (non-technical goodness):* Easy to setup (although the manual is lacking)* Easy to use.* DLNA, iTunes server, etc... all disabled by default, and easy enough to enable if you want them.* Facebook media backup feature* Print-server included (although not advertised!)So the great, geeky things?* Based on Seagate's more expensive BlackArmour NAS product.* Runs Linux with SSH enabled by default* Uses LVM storage by default (snapshots!!!)* Ethernet supports jumbo frames (ssh then 'ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000')* The Linux OS includes a bunch of things in the kernel that might be useful: - EXT4 (also ext2, ext3) - XFS - FUSE (NTFS driver included) - WebDAV mount utilities - Potential iSCSI support (supported in kernel - utilities missing) - Potential NFS support - utilities missing, some scripts remain. Could be made to work.* Two core CPU - although only one is enabled in software.The board that drives this thing is a Cavium Networks CNS3420, an ARMv11 platform (see http://www.cavium.com/ECONA_CNS3XXX.html)Bad things?- The second CPU core is disabled! (but might be made to work)- iSCSI and NFS won't work out of the box (but might be made to work)- Jumbo frames don't seem to improve performance much (but some tweaking might help...)- Enabling SSL for FTP drops the speed to 1.5MB/s.

The document that came along says that installing the drive is 3 step process. But it wasn't, the network name that was automatically assigned to drive went offline in few minutes, and I had to access it by going to my router's setup page and getting its ip address.The drive was giving write speeds of 1.45 MB/sec, so I went to see if there is anything in setup. On going to setup page of drive, there was a firmware update sitting. And on updating firmware the drive is now giving write speeds of even slower 1.19 MB/sec, which is very slow from what I expected.On the plus side the iphone app and the remote access of the drive is very very cool.The sharing would have been cool, but it could not work for me since getting contacts from gmail was not possible. They are not using correct gmail authentication apis, and trying to get username/password and access through its own servers.UPDATE about speed:I am very happy with the drive, I gave it 1 start initially because of the slow write speeds, but I am changing it to 5 start as I was wrong. In my case the bottleneck was network, I had 802.11b/g wireless router which gives very bad write speeds. On connecting my laptop through network cable with router, i was getting write speeds of 10MBps, I am sure it could be more if I had better router.

This Seagate Central works perfectly. Installation instructions were a bit confusing. It needs better step by step. It also works with Windows 8. It works everytime and don't freak out when you try to access. It takes a few seconds to open due to the fact that hard drive goes to sleep mode. Also one more thing, although it works wireless N 10/100 gigabit Ethernet with slow backups and coping. It streams perfectly. You may need to buy a router with 10/100/1000 gigabit Ethernet capabilities to get faster back up times and quicker file transfers. I'm saying again. This Seagate Central works great.
