Netgear support were appalling.
Firstly, merely quoting paragraphs from their knowledgebase, wasn't much help.

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 NetgearSC101.
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 netgearsc101 into my wireless router and within 5mins my laptop had found the 250gb hardrive wireless and was now formatting.

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 ...
