Good Points
Being charitable, the idea.
Bad Points
Just plain fragile. Simply doesn't work reliably enough.
General Comments
After a year it is pretty hard to find anything good to say about the SC101. If it worked it would have many good points, but if it doesn't all you've got is an expensive paperweight.
Pretty surprising for Netgear, I usually like their stuff.
I have 450gb, of which I can see - today - 170GB. The rest is away with the fairies - like whoever signed this off for release to an unsuspecting public. I continually need to reset, re-install, re-attach something. Perhaps sacrificing a chicken over it would make it reliable since nothing else has so far.
Although it hasn't actually permanently lost any data on me yet, nothing on this earth would make me trust it with stuff I hadn't backed up elsewhere.
It mucked up once to often today. The disks are coming out, and the SC101 is for the skip.
Sorry Netgear, the best thing you could do is withdraw this product. It's a real reputation killer in my opinion anyway.
