• I've had difficulties upgrading firmwares
• Reboot it's even very slow , like 15/20 minutes but that's not so critical

• This device took the place of 6 full servers initially, then 6 or more virtual ones were added later. Enough said.
• Support -- I can't say enough about this. Having that hard drive arrive, without me asking for it, was awesome. Having the tech arrive without me asking for him was priceless.
• For the initial outlay, we spent a lot, but I'd say we got most of the ROI back within the first year on this device.
• Really nothing negative to say from an ROI perspective.
