Netgear SC101 Review

Good Points
Absolutely NONE !!!!

Bad Points
It just does NOT work.
Don't touch this product, look on Ebay and see how many are for sale.
One thing they don't mention in the adverts is that this device uses its own filing system.
If the device fails you cannot take the drives out and pop them into you PC - your PC just would not recognise them.
Unless you have a spare device, if you value your data, you would have to buy another - in other words - YOU'RE HOOKED !!!

General Comments
I wasted two weekends trying to get this device working.

The Netgear SC101 installed okay, and it managed to update its firmware and software. I then managed to copy 129 GB to the device (which took over A DAY to complete).

Once I had rebooted, despite all my efforts, uninstalling, (even the uninstall program crashed - causing a reboot), my computer never "saw" the drives again.

Netgear support were appalling. Firstly, merely quoting paragraphs from their knowledgebase, wasn't much help.

After two weeks of emails, all help dried up, they eventually just ignored my case.
