Reviews of the LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini - Home Edition (500GB)

  • 6.7

    CNET Review

    April 15, 2008

    The Good: Network-attached drive with 500GB of storage; can serve up media to iTunes and uPNP-capable devices; easy to share files with friends and family; rugged design.

    The Bad: Remote access is slow and unreliable; drive can be noisy during use; browser-based interface has its quirks.

    The Bottom Line: The LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini - Home Edition is a solid mediacentric network-attached storage drive with an easy-to-use Web interface, but don't expect glitch-free access outside your home network.
