Packaging is great, I was impressed at first by the look and size of the server. However this server took over 6 hours just to backup 38GB of my system c drive. I was not happy about the speed at all, but i guess it's tolerable. With Acronis true Image I can backup my system c drive 38GB to hard drive in about 21 minutes... See the difference? The server ships with NTI Shadow Copy 4, On Vista if i don't set to Run as Admin, This software fails and closes also. At any rate performance here is not good with this server, but the amount of info is nice almost 2TB so that's a plus. There are hard drives alone that boast 1.5TB for a fraction of this cost however. I would say if Your not in a big hurry to backup then consider this server.

This is a great deal although I wish that they had installed a fan. This set up up gets very warm when transferring large files. I still reccomend this product even though it runs at a higher temperature then I like.
