New owner impressions....
I got one from DABS last weekend, making use of the free (very fast) delivery offer...
As the 'pro' reviews say, it's big enough to get two disks in and not much bigger, probably the same size as two thick paperbacks back-to-back. Having the external PSU obviously helps...
Setup and configuration seem to be a doddle and once on the network it showed up immediately in the Dlink 'Easy search' tool.
I flashed to the latest firmware (now officially released in Europe and not a dodgy US beta). No signs of the reported problems.
The bundled Memeo backup software looks ok, particularly having downloaded the latest version. I think I might try their AutoSync software as this might be more appropriate for my needs. It seems to transfer at respectable speeds and in time I will upgrade to the new generation of routers with the faster network.
It is not silent; when active there is obviously disk noise and when idle the fan emits a faint noise. Some people have hacked out the plastic guard to make it quieter, but I'm not so worried. There are also scripts that apparently control the fan speed to some extent, but again I'm not worried (nor technical enough to understand how to use them!) That said, Dlink should consider spinning the fan down when the disks are inactive....
Overall 8.5/10
