Abstract: <b>Spec:</b> RJ-45, Standard, Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, PC<br> <b>Good:</b> Easy to set up; drive spanning; private and shared volumes.<br> <b>Bad:</b> Currently accessible from only Windows machines; passive cooling could be a problem with faster hard drives.<br> <b>Bottomline:</b> More than just a networked hard drive enclosure, the SC101 provides some very useful features at a low price, making it a compelling choice for shared storage.<br>
