Just received my NAS200. Took me 10 min setup everything. All my PCs are able to see the drive. Will report back in a few weeks for another upddate.

I have had my data for many, many, many years. I had things on two harddrives and got a 2GB Buffalo Terastation a while ago, which is set to RAID 1. It has been working for almost two years but it is full. So I bought the NAS200 with the intention of moving some of my data and later getting a second NAS200 to backup to. Thus I made the stupid choice of configuring for RAID 0 (the thing is still slow but data is unrecoverable if something happens…the price of greed). I just finished copying all the data over (I made a backup to an old harddrive halfway through) when today I can no longer browse to the unit. ‘Power’, ‘Reset’, nothing works. I unplug the thing and ‘Power’ and ‘Full’ blink. That is odd, it was less than 1/4 full before. I unplug it again and see the same thing (this was probably another stupid move on my part). I call LinkSys. Some Indian dude tells me to turn the unit off for 20 minutes. 20 minutes? Why?! He gives me the NIKE slogan so I just do it. Now I am surfing the web for information and it seems the NAS200 loves to do this. Apparently, a small disturbance (for example power outage) will totally confuse it. It may (I hope none of the drives failed but how would I know, the unit gives no useful feedback) work after 24 hours; it seems the cryptic light message I get means it is scanning corrupted drives. If it does not fix itself, I will loose tons of documents, home film projects and family pictures. This will be the biggest data loss I have ever suffered.
Lessons: Stay away from the NAS200. If you do buy it, NEVER call the tech support. Their tech support is stupid bordering on dangerous from what I have seen and read so far. Keep it on a UPS. Do use RAID 1. Maybe I should have left the doors in the back open. The drives were too hot to touch. How should it be any different, I do not think there is space for cooling fans in the unit.
I have also had a superstitious fear of Seagate drives for the last couple of years. Maybe it’s a bad omen that just after my wife’s HP Touchsmart suffers a disc crash (it had a Seagate drive), this thing does its final bow. The 1TB Seagate drives were so cheap I…I should have known better!

I get the nas and set it up…oops…bad sata port (so raid, etc would not work), RMA…linksys takes 3.5 WEEKS to get an rma unit. Then I get the RMA’d unit and the firmware on it is messed up and linksys wants to RMA again…of course…backordered RMA, 4 week delay…RETURNED…i am buying a thecus or sans digital now (at 2x the price)!!!

Another in the long line of subpar linksys (a division of cisco) products. I really thought this would be a hard thing to screw up but leave it to the fine folks at linksys to send me a network attached device that requires a special device driver to be loaded on any computer that wishes to access it. It is, in fact, a rigged up usb device that is incedibly slow. There is actually a TSR for you to map drives because you can’t do it from the network neighborhood (my network places, whatever). Thanks linksys I love products that decrease the amount of free memory available.
Sending it back.
