I agree with the other one star reviewer, accept my through put has reached between 2-10Mbits. Don't waist the time on this device.

Very nice and useful device.Install custom firmware, and you are good to go..and play with it.If you like playing with devices (and Linux), go .get it.

Beware of this product. It is extremely slow, especially when storing many smaller files. It also requires de hard disk to be formatted in a special format, so you cannot just hook up the hard disk to a PC via USB should the Storage Link fail, or should you get tired of its outrageously slow response even to standard backup jobs.

Transfer file slow and with large file connection dropNice design but function poorFor large Hard Drive max format 80gb on web base toolOnly large format can be done in DOS/FAT16 format 160gb and more

I had hoped to use the NSLU with a couple large NTFS drives to provide backup and iTunes repository for all my home computers. No such luck.First, performance was dismal: about 1.5 MB/sec, far slower than my network drives. Second, the NSLU would hang once or twice a day; only a power-off reset would restore it. Third, the internal utility web page could not be accessed, and without it several important parameters (eg workgroup name) could not be set. On the plus side, initial setup was easy.

Don't be fooled by the Linksys advertisements for this device. It will connect to USB 2.0 disks, and will connect to 100mb networks, however do not expect that kind of read or write performance from this grossly over advertised device. From our tests, we found that the write speed was about 10mb/sec and the read speed is around 12mb/sec. If you're using this to backup large amounts of data over the network, expect your backups to take a LONG time... You would be much better off purchasing a powered USB 2.0 hub (at half the price of this thing) and plugging it into a machine on your network and sharing out those disks if you need the extra disk space.
