cool thing .......2006-10-14

High performance and great deal

Absolute JUNK.......2006-06-15

I'm ready to throw this thing out of the window. Not only does it come with THE worst written "manual" I've ever seen, it just doesn't work the way it's advertised. I was looking for something to automatically backup a couple of PCs on the network. Yeah, good luck. This this took over DHCP (it's on by default!) and really messed up my router and NIC cards. I had re-configure my entire network because of this device. I'm sending it back to Amazon tomorrow.

No software. No legible instructions. No thanks.

Manual is still in Chinese, though an English translation was attempted.
Cavalry did not even go as far as 'branding' this product. It seems that they took a hard drive, slapped it inside the bason enclosure, and then sent it along with Bason's manual (which is of a poor quality).

I managed to establish an ftp session to the drive every other time. After a reboot, things do work better for the first 5-10 minutes.

Security options are non-existent. You cannot even nest directories with security applied to the folder structure at different levels. All folders must be at the 'root' level - dumb.

I'm sending mine back

The drive was pre-formatted and all I had to do was plug it in. I am running XP,so I do not need any drivers to use it as a standard 250GB throught the USB 2.0

NAS software provided it also VERY easy to understand. They also provided the network and USB cable. Once setup we are now sharing this with 2 other people on our network.
