That makes sense. Task manager shows my 100Mbps card operating at about 25-40% utilisation. Moving many little files cripples the speed (i guess all those acks).
I have no experience of the other devices. I was looking at the World Book Terastations in J&R last week, the look nice, but never used one. Glad this thread came along. I never looked at opinions on them until now and that kinda puts me off them.
On the Linkstation, the noise problem is down to the fan bearings needing oil. It is a fiddly fix. I looked to replace the fan, but it is actually quite hard to get hold of the specific fan as it is a variable speed. Most, and the two I bought 40*40*10 fans were not varispeed. Since the 3in1 sorted the problem out that seemed the easier fix that a solder iron / new fan.

Anyone here know were you can get a 40*40*10 varispeed fan that draws around 0.07A?
