Well designed, inexpensive network storage

byemelr Sep 30, 2006
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fast, easy to set up, works great
Cons A few missing features that (please!) might show up in future firmware.
Recommended it? Yes

The Linkstation Pro 250GL is a well-designed network storage appliance with just a few shortcomings. First the good news:
+ Very fast set up. The web-based administration is clear and easy to navigate. I had new shares visible on my network in a few minutes. The .pdf users guide is reasonably... Read full review »

Great product for network storage

bymajp Apr 10, 2007
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cheap, good capacity, small, silent
Cons not really for Win2003 domains
Recommended it? Yes

It is quite easy to get the LinkStation up and running, you don't even really need the bundled software. Just use the web interface and your standard windows dialog for drive mapping and you should be up and running in less than 10 minutes. If you want to use it in a domain environment it gets a...

*******9/8/11 Update*******

The same device that was reviewed below back in 2007 is still running perfectly.  It sits in a cabinet, serving up MP3 files, running 24x7.  I make an image of the hard drive a couple times a year.  I am convinced the NSLU2 is a quality device,... Read full review »

NSLU2 Pitfalls

byeracer55 Mar 21, 2008
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use and set up for basic network drive use.
Cons 255 character FTP command limit (file path limit), Port 21 only, proprietary drive format
Recommended it? No

I've been using Linksys products for quite some time now. When it comes to network equipment, I use nothing but. I bought the NSLU2 to use in conjunction with SyncBackSE, (a backup utility that copies files and folder structures from one location to another as a backup) SyncBackSE is also capable...
