 Rating: - Great deviceThis is a great little device, but not for the novice. I run my house music network serving FLAC files (why do people still use the mp3 format, oh yeah 'cos apple still live in the last century) to 4 Sonos music devices. It consumes 2w of power so can be left on 24/7. Its not the fastest device but is more than sufficient as a music server. Its has been very reliable over the last 2 years. I had to upgrade the firmware, but mine is over two years old. Rating:  - Quality control?I bought one of these intending to install a custom firmware that would allow me to use it as a music server on the LAN and over the web.

Re-flashed it with Unslung but wanted more! So I went with Debian and now I have RAID 1 on two external 500GB USB drives, rTorrent thru simple folder access, MediaTomb for my PS3 and other media players, spin-down on the HDDs and the OS running on an old-ish 1GB USB stick that is hard-wired inside the unit. Other HW mods include doubling the CPU speed ... Read More Rating:  - I'm sure it's wonderful, but...I'm sure it's wonderful, but the unit I have just received has a faulty ethernet port. It appeared to happily register the existence of either USB flash-drives and hard-drives, but no-matter which - of my numerous - switches and routers it was plugged into the little ethernet "connection" LED (on both the Nslu2 and the switches) remained blank and the Nslu2 was totally unreachable. This is strange as the Nslu2 /should/ report hardware faults by beeping, but this unit believed everything to be fine, it ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
