Central backup server

I've been using this 5big Network 2 server for more than a year now, and I've had no problems whatsoever with it. It's a great backup solution. It doesn't use much power and works very quietly. I love the simplicity of setup and administration. The price/performance ratio is excellent. Overall, the device is very dependable and I would gladly recommend it to anybody looking for a reliable network backup or file server.
