Very good
Had mine for several weeks now.
Configured 1TB as RAID 5 (main reason for purchase was to keep a backup copy of photos/videos/music & RAID 5 seemed like a good compromise between storage capacity & security) giving 750GB actual storage.
Setting the unit up was easy via the browser.
Over the first weekend I backed up 300GB from my PC. Both PC & Terastation are wired to my 100Mbps router - I had considered upgrading the router & PC network adaptor but now I'm not so sure as this didn't appear to be the bottleneck.
It streams video to PCs wired to the router ok so the router will only be replaced to improve wireless performance.
The only things I haven't sorted out yet are setting up a printer on one of the USB ports and setting up different rights for different users (it comes with 2 users admin & guest already configured).
It may not be the fastest device of this type on the market but for the present my main concern was capacity and there was nothing else close to this for the price.
