CNET Editors' review - Maxtor Shared Storage Plus Drive (300GB)

Very good

7.3

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.3 out of 10
Reviewed by Jon L. Jacobi
Review date: 3/6/06
Release date: 12/1/05

The good: The Maxtor Shared Storage Plus drive is simple to set up, has USB ports for network printers, and is expandable via USB ports. It supports UPnP and DLNA media serving and has a nicely designed HTML interface and software.

The bad: The Maxtor Shared Storage Plus drive is expensive and doesn't support Gigabit Ethernet.

The bottom line: Consumer NAS drives don't get classier or easier than the Maxtor Shared Storage Plus, but we'd like to see Gigabit Ethernet on it.
