The Lacie (in theory gigabit ethernet) transferred files at about 12MB/s (megabit speeds). I get consistent speeds of 80MB/s wth the TS-419P+. Sometimes higher sometimes lower.
I put 4 x 1TB drives in it, server grade but normal speed, giving me 3TB of reliable storage.
Accessing files on it is very similar to accessing them locally, very fast and responsive.
The administration and other capabilities are good too, an obviously more professional setup than the Lacie and Maxtors I've used in the past.

How much was it Roger, and where did you get it from?
Do you just plug it into your wireless router so it's available from any device accessing the wireless?
