  • Noisy, Beware.

    3.0 out of 5 stars

    This is a nice well built device. But it is noisy. I have mine in another room, it is too noisy to be in the same room that you wo rk.

    The internal hard drives are high quality server grade Ultrastar A7K2000.

I contacted Hitachi who advised that i need to replace the drive with the same type or it may not work.     …

    I was looking for a quiet, reliable unit for a media server. This unit isn't as noisy as some reviews would suggest, mine is in a cupboard under the TV and when streaming movies etc., it's not noticeable. It does make a bit of noise when a time machine backup starts, but nothing irritating. I've had the unit for a month or so and it's performed exactly as expected so far. Xbench on a mac mini gives this unit a score of 20.48; sequential uncached read/write 256K blocks 78.96MB/sec / 52.86MB/sec; random uncached read/write 256K blocks 38.94MB/sec / 12.81MB/sec. Connection in the test is Firewire 800; the firewire bus getting towards saturated on the sequential uncached read. I'd expect better performance on eSATA. It's survived a couple of power cuts with no problem. …
