Very good

7.8

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.8 out of 10
Reviewed by Felisa Yang
Review date: 11/14/06

The good: Simple organization; easy to share files without uploading or creating different file sets for different people; comes with detailed installation and user guide.

The bad: Expensive; setup can be intimidating if unfamiliar with some networking concepts; limited technical support hours; no built-in photo editing features.

The bottom line: The Maxtor Fusion NAS drive makes child's play of organizing and sharing files remotely. Even though the price tag is a bit high, we love it.
