Empty, the unit weighs a mere 196gms and measures a very modest 92 x 162 x 25mm. At the rear you get a pair of USB 2.0 ports plus a Fast Ethernet port and the chassis incorporates an 802.11g wireless access point. A single, detachable aerial screws in at the back and the unit is powered by a reasonably small supply which adds a further 154g to your running weight.

The smoked plastic panel in the centre of the unit appears to be merely cosmetic but the unit does come with a stack of status LEDs. You get no less than eight indicators showing power, LAN, WLAN and USB port status along with internal HDD status and activity plus a warning light for when hard disk capacity is reaching its limit or there is a disk error. Two recessed buttons at the side control power and the backup feature, while pressing both together will reset the unit back to factory defaults.

The backup button will prove useful as it initiates a copy of data on any attached USB device to the internal hard disk. This is similar to the Backup Button feature offered by Infrant’s ReadyNAS NV but you do not have any options to customise operations. Pressing the button will simply copy everything from the USB disk to a new folder named with the date.
