Fantom Drive has more work to do with software March 3, 2010
S. Jung (Washington, DC USA)
On paper this drive sounds great, but after a little use you find its drawbacks. I wanted a NAS system for my home network and I wanted to setup a FTP server with user access control. This would allow me to keep this small system on 24x7 instead of a whole computer.
Pros:
-It is compact. Just slightly bigger than the two drive casing.
-It contains good quality hard drives.
-Allows for mirroring for disk redundancy.
-Allows FTP service.
-User Access Control exists.
Cons:
-It is noisier than expected, but still pretty quite. It makes more than expected noise on writes and mirroring.
-The software is unstable! I have to reboot about every week or two.
-User Access control is not robust. Does not allow individual users to share their reserved space.
-Limited access. There is no way that I know of to connect to the software platform directly, i.e. console. You must go through the restricting UI to interact with the system which is frustrating.
In summary, I feel that this home level nas system tries to do too much that it's not ready for. Its obvious that there has to be more investments made in the company software R&D. I also feel that the market for home nas system is not quite mature enough for a reliable, affordable, robust system (just personal opinion with limited experience). At this point it is better to run a compact and low power consuming PC at home with a real OS and the softwares you desire. I will likely designate a PC and reuse the drives from this system in the coming months. I would not recommend this product mainly due to its low reliability and restricting software. Hopefully low cost NAS systems will get better in the future.
