CNET Editors' review - LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini with Gigabit Ethernet (500GB)
Hide

Good

6.8

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 6.8 out of 10
Reviewed by Ryan Belonga
Review date: 4/16/07

The good: Gigabit Ethernet port; USB port for connecting additional hard drives; UPnP media server; backup software included.

The bad: Read/write times could use some improvement.

The bottom line: The LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini is a decent NAS drive for a good price. If you need more features or faster performance, look elsewhere.
