I am commenting only on the Maxtor 1TB Central Axis NAS Network Storage Hard Drive product. I bought this at Best Buy in July '09. I found it to be easy to configure and good feature set of tools to allow for easy backup of four laptops, two desktop PC's in our home...some of which I have set to automatically back up while others I do manually. I am very pleased with its performance and tie in to the newer Western Digital TV network device.
