Lacie Ethernet Disk Mini Home

I bought a Lacie Ethernet Disk Mini Home a while ago and I am quite disappointed.

- Access to the shared drives are really slow.

- It is supposed to server music to iTunes but that feature doesn’t work for me. I can see the service in iTunes, but when I click on it I only get an error message.

- The hard drive is constantly working, day and night. I makes it very noisy and how will this affect the drive? Lacie says this is because of a bug in the media server software Twonky that they use. This bug was reported and analyzed in February, and an update has been promised for a long time.

- The web UI is very slow to work with.

I would not recommend buying it. At least not until they have fixed the issues.
