BUFFALO CS-WX1.0/1D CloudStor Dual-Bay Cloud Accessible Storage and Media Sharing Device Use Promo Code: EMCYTZT595
I'm interested because I'm now simply sharing a USB drive over my network. This device would be useful but reviews are spotty, especially relating to speed and the supposed need to always go through Pogoplug rather than directly across your personal network. Anyone researched this more and learned anything additional? I keep updates to applications that I downloaded and get them from my shared drive rather than DL-ing on each computer, but if I can't access this directly over my network, that will negate the speed advantage of my current method. Reviews seem so-so but some Amazon comments seem to indicate software/firmware changes are bringing improvements.
Might be worth the gamble…
Here's another - looks like everybody is on the sell our NAS devices today bandwagon. LG N2R1D 2 Bay Super-Multi Network Attached Storage with DVD ReWriter
And yet another. Netgear ReadyNAS Duo NAS Enclosure
Since I'm not terribly interested in (local) cloud storage it appears the better one is the LG, but I didn't find any real reviews on it - only on another model that was for LG N2R1DD2 (which includes drive(s) at Newegg.
