Mine's certainly not going to set any speed records, and they made a batch with flakey power supplies but did the right thing about it. They do a good job of balancing "simple to configure" against "can do complex things". I use mine for my Time Machine backups, wireless most of the time, wired if I know that I've changed a lot and need the bandwidth. It's not officially supported but the Mac section of www.readynas.com has the recipe. It's nice to get back home, open the lid of the macbook pro and notice that it's automagically doing a backup for me. g.
