The clever little box is great for sharing files on a network. One of the few NAS drives that have built in wifi.
Even if your home router is not wireless you can use the wifi in this device to not only access files but also get online too.
The problems I found with NAS is
1) The 54g speed of wifi makes it pretty slow to access files once 2-3 users start using it.
2) The external USB connected drives cannot be written to - they are read only.
3) You have to format the internal drive to the D-Link proprietory format. This means there is no way to use an existing drive with data as it will be wiped when reformatted. It also means if you take it out of the device you cannot access the data.
Despite these drawbacks it does have some great features such as being able to link with an existing wi-fi SSID to extend the existing one rather than replace it.

I bought one of these and it wasn't until I received it and opened the manual that I discovered it only accepted an IDE disc - not the SATA disc that I had bought at the same time.
Hence I have returned it and am waiting for my refund - it will still cost me the return postage though.

I particularly wanted a wireless NAS to live in the loft, then if I get burgled and my PC's taken, I don't think thieves would find the NAS up in the loft under some tatty cardboard.
Installing the hard disk was a bit fiddly, but not too bad.
Configuration was a little clumsy, and I could not get WPA working, had to fall back on WEP (Might be my paranoid Draytek router).
The browser based config tool is not very well constructed in terms of HTML and is a bit confusing.
Having said all that, it works just fine. Very reliable, Norton Ghost backs 3 PC's up overnight (with a bit of careful scheduling to overcome the limitation of wireless.)
Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.
