Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cisco-Linksys Media Hub (Without Drive, NMH300)Customer Review: Very good NAS and Media hub Summary: 5 Stars
We have been using this unit for about a year now. We configured 2x 2TB WD20EARS hard drives in it and configure it as RAID 1 (mirror) so keep a backup of all our digital photos, music and movies.
The first improvement over the unit we were using before was the improved access speed. We have it installed on out home network that we upgraded to a 1Gbps using Netgear Gigabit switches and CAT6 cable. Now we can access the content from any computer in the house very quickly.
The unit is very quiet even when it is reading/writing to disk. In this aspect it is way better than the NAS200 we had before.
The iTunes server works really well. We can access the music and videos in this unit from any computer running iTunes, including an AppleTV (but not so lucky with the iPad, at least with the firmware released by the time I am writing this).
I have only one complain regarding the setup and it is that it took for the software a long while to detect the unit and without this step you can't continue the setup. For the rest, this is a very solid unit. We have used it for one year without turning it off and it is available 24/7 every time we have needed it.
On the down side, if you were looking at creating access accounts with privacy settings for each member of the family to have individual/private back ups and files, I haven't been able to do it. I stopped looking for it as well. I only found that the unit has one user and 2 passwords depending on the type of access allowed (1 star less for that). If you don't care about this, this is your unit.
