Manufacturer's product description
Take advantage of the benefits of fiber optic technology using familiar Ethernet protocol and fiber adapter cards from the world leader, Allied Telesis'. Fiber features security, dramatically extended distances and more efficient network management. Extend network segments to 2 kilometers. Ideal for use in "electrically noisy" environments and in backbone or campus environments where longer cabling distances are required. The AT-2450 Series PCI adapter cards are auto-configurable, dramatically reducing installation time. Allied Telesis' gives you the industry's only "On-Line-Help" feature in addition to diagnostic software and four visible LEDs to assist in installation and troubleshooting. The cards are available with a RJ45/UTP connector for copper and a fiber connector; ST (twist-on) connector, or the new SC (push-on) connector. The media port automatically senses which media is active when the network cable connector is attached, eliminating software set-up programs.

Advantages: Flexibility, Smartsync Software Disadvantages: Simultaneous access to Mac and PC
...Not sure whether i was going for a Freecom NAS Hardrive or one of these, so read up a bit and ended up going for the more flexible approach that is the Netgear SC101.
It certainly didn't let me down. I plonked a 25gb seagate hardrive into it and ran the software on my laptop. plugged in the netgear sc101 into my wireless router and within 5mins my laptop had found the 250gb hardrive wireless and was now formatting.
The installation was certainly straight forward. Couple of things worth noting i didn't get the full 250gb from the drive infact i only got 232gb. No sweat i happy with 232gb.
You can assign an admin password so you don;t get anyone messing with your data and there is also an option of partitioning the drive and mapping the drives to as many drive letters as you wish.
It also comes with the smart sync software which...

Advantages: External networked Storage excellent for those big long backups, Save all your music and films to 1 place and share through out your network through a wireless or/and wired hub. Disadvantages: Slow spin up time, Software needs to be installed on computers using it,
...I bought the Netgear SC101 for one reason only, and that was to backup my main computer drive so I could re-install windows.
I ordered the SC101 along with two 250 gig H/Ds total cost - £199 , Okay so not exactly cheap but not exactly expensive either for 500 Gigs of storage. Mind you the two 250Gig drives set me back about £125, the netgear SC101 was about £67. Be very carefull what drives you use they HAVE to be ATA 6 standard, anything less and they will not work with the SC101 properly.
Before buying the SC101 I had done the usual and scoured the internet to read peoples reviews and work out whether this thing was going to be problematic or a good buy. The things I read were almost enough to deter me. But my experience of the `Toaster` as people call it are as follows.
On taking it out the box, I was mildly impressed. Looked good...
