I installed the this NAS/HDD a few days ago and have started to use it with my Apple Mac.
Build quality is very good - the unit is solid, and it comes with a robust stand, power cable and network cable. Installing the software was simple - insert the CD and come back a few minutes later. The drive itself has a few LEDs on the front and is reasonably quiet. You can also restart/shutdown the drive from within the software, which is a nice touch!
I haven't had a chance to play around with it properly, but I did set up Apple Time Machine, which was stunningly simple - just install the drive/software and then start Time Machine - it was as simple as that!
What I do like is the ability to use as a remote HDD for iTunes (which automatically detected the drive), as well as have different folders to separate Time Machine backups from everyday files.
The software itself it quite intuitive, which makes up for the lack of a paper instruction manual. Saying that, there is a manual on the CD itself should you need assistance.

I had the disk for only 4 days now but I've tried out a few features and so far so good.
The Disk Drive itself looks good and is well made. It is not in a a casing designed for someone to tinker around with but that's not what I needed anyway.
It is very quiet and you can configure it to power down the disk after say 30 minutes of inactivity which makes it very quiet and economical.
In our house we have Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 machines. The Installation software installed on all the machines. On XP after installation it prompted to update on first run of the software and that went OK. On Vista the installation through up a lot of challenges (as it usually does) and at one point implied that the installation had failed but it hadn't and the software ran OK afterwards. Windows 7 installed clean without requesting any updates.
After installing the software, the first thing is to automatically find the device on the network. This didn't work automatically and I had to go into my router and find the IP address of the drive manually. After that it was fine.
Media Server - I have tried streaming a whole movie (AVI file) via an XBOX360 which was 720p. This worked fine but with about 4 stutters during the whole movie so not bad. This was over a wireless 802.11n network with no other processes being run against the disk at the time.
I also streamed various pictures, video and music using AirPlayer on an iPod Touch 4. Music has worked fine, Pictures also OK. Videos of some formats have had some issues but I don't know whether this was the Media Server, iPod AirPlayer software or what.
Connecting a Printer has also been successful and printing has worked from all machines. You need to connect to the ip address of the disk following by the name of the Printer as indicated on the Printers page of the disks admin printers page.
Remote access it the next function to try. I set it up and it has internally reported making a successful test of the connection. I have not yet however testing this from outside the network.
All other features have not been used so cannot comment.

This is an ideal solution for families with multiple PCs in the same household that want somewhere to share their multimedia files and a central place to backup to. The drive also supports DNLA and streaming media to TVs that support this works fantastically.
In windows the software is easy to setup and displays as multiple extra drives in windows explorer. Access can be given to or denied to these in order to restrict use to certain users. The administration is through the browser and is very easy to understand.
As well as being a network hard drive there are also lots of other features which work with mixed results.
The bit torrent client continually locks up with larger files and the automatically upload files to facebook item doesn't work at all (it's very dodgy that this is advertised with the drive as according to their website it looks like it's never worked in the past either).
Overall if you want a networked hard drive then I'd give this 5 stars, but don't buy it for all the additional "features" as they don't all work!
