I'm not sure what the previous poster meant by "you have to install special software on each computer"... there is a utility to help you "find" the device in order to map a driver letter to it, but it is by no means required.

Well I just had problems with mine and got fed up. I thought it would be like mapping a network drive.

So I just took it back and made one of my older computers into one that suited me better.

Re: Home server

A point about NAS's.

I bought a buffalo NAS a few months ago and immediately returned it. I had to install special software on all of the computers accessing it and it really just wasn't what I expected.

Maybe there was a way around using that software but it was enough of a pain that I just got my money back and bought another hard drive.
