Quality


After 3+ years of daily use, this unit has proven to be a very reliable.


Mine runs the entire family network with several desktops and now all laptops with no real speed issues.


That is my biggest worry, being able to boot the system during any type of failure.


I bought a new drive and the nas rebuilt the mirror and worked for several months before the new drive failed.

Competitiveness


Wd support has always been a little better than seagate.


As to slow, it is as fast as comcast or at&t internet.
