In order for Linksys Storage Link to work with your USB drives… it has to format your drive!!! It doesn’t understand any NTFS partition!!! What da… I guess that’s NAS!! Not sure it is good or bad… at this point.. i think i might just return the product….

There is no documentation of this until you receive the device. The device requires a USB hard drive which is clearly stated. What it does not state is in order to use this hard drive it must be reformated for Lenix and will no longer work if plugged directly into a Windows machine or if there is exisiting data on the hard drive, it must be removed, reformatted and returned!
Very disappointing.

Extremely unreliable! Very difficult accessing files! Not worth the trouble!

I bought this product after purchasing the Maxtor One-touch because I was enticed by the prospect of being able to schedule simple, scheduled backups of the 3 computers that I have on my home network. Forget it! The simplicity of the Maxtor product goes down the drain when you buy the Linksys NSU. I am much more technically inclined then the vast majority of business or home computer users, and I’ve been on and off HOLD for over an hour with Linksys tech support. They can’t even figure out why I can’t connect to the Maxtor from my laptop. I’m ready to ship the product back and try to reformat the Maxtor to work with just one PC, as it was originally designed with it’s easy-to-use backup software. If you decide to buy this, make sure you are much more techically savy than Linksys’ tech support people because they won’t help you at all. VERY DISAPPOINTING AFTER LOTS OF WASTED TIME!
