Advantages: Great idea Disadvantages: Barely works
...Whilst the idea of the Ethernt DiskMini is great, the execution is poor.
It only works when fomatted with FAT32 which limits file size (<2GB). No good for video or RAW files.
If formatted in EXT3 the USB doesn't work. You have to reformat fo FAT32 or HSF+ for both USB & ethernet to work.
If formatted in HFS+ (for Mac) it is unstable & can't handle large files. It keep crashing requiring a tedious re-initalization.
I was hoping to use this as a home network disk, but after struggling with it for six months I've stripped out the hard drive & put in an Icy Box enclousre so at least I can use it.
For a network disk check out http://www.ximeta.com
It works the only drawback I've found is they are little slow upgrading drivers....

Advantages: Probably the biggest drive for consumer use Disadvantages: Takes some time to defragment or format

As well as backing up data from my main PC and notebook computer, I store data required for my job of work which involves travelling around the countryside. The LaCie d2 Big Disk is ideal for packing and travels well.
I found, however, I needed another drive to back up this drive to, to keep my data safe. So I purchased a second LaCie d2 Big Disk for this purpose. They can link together without the need to plug both into the actual computer, which a handy feature.
I use USB 2.0 at home and Firewire when I’m out and about, the LaCie drives run beautifully on either. The notebook computer I use...

I recently bought one of these hardrives for around £60. So far, this hard drive has not given any problems what so ever. The physical size of the hard drive is not very big, so chances are you can find a place close to your PC tower to put it.
