Pros: Easy to use and set up for basic network drive use.

Cons: 255 character FTP command limit (file path limit), Port 21 only, proprietary drive format

The Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend this drive to anyone who wants to use it as an FTP backup. As for easy of use for a basic network drive, it's not bad.
