Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I agree with some of the criticisms leveled against the EFG80. Yes, its not exactly cheap (but quality has a price), the fan is a bit noisy (but there's no chance this baby will ever overheat), and it would be nice if it supported some RAID functions like mirroring (though the built in backup does essentially the same thing). However, after installing the EFG80 in my home network, I am now firmly convinced that the positives far out-way any negatives.
First, quality, reliability and stability: this unit is built to last and, with its firmware Linux OS, it's practically bulletproof! Second, performance: Its fast! Boots up fast, shuts down fast, and file transfers are actually faster than to a PC. The supplied hard drive is so quiet (Seagate Barracuda V) that the fan is the only thing you hear. Third, ease of use: the administrative controls are very straightforward and functional. I just plugged it in and had full interoperability with my network. Since I'm running W2k, I haven't noticed any of the connectivity problems reported by XP users (just one more reason to avoid XP IMHO). Finally, it just looks cool: it's consistent with the Linksys color scheme and looks great sitting next to the rest of my Linksys network stack! All in all, I am extremely pleased with this NAS.
