    Good unit to back up and use as a central access to media, but the fact that you can only access one private user from one computer is very limiting. There is a work around if you call Segate, but they should just fix this issue.

    This thing works great! I can do all by backups on all my computers on my home network all to the Seagate Central. Loaded it with movies, pictures and audio and they are all accessible on all my TV's and all computers. One of the great things is I can watch movies from the Seagate Central through a wireless router to all my Tablets, cell phones, Nexas 7 etc. anywhere there is a wifi setup. Transfer speed across the gigabite lan is about 36 Mbs, which is about the correct speed for a gigabite router. And the price for a 4 TB drive is outstanding!

    Four terabytes of storage for my home network is great. I have three grand children, and like to take still pictures and video, so I filled several smaller drives already. This will hold me for a while:-)
