I'm delighted with the Lacie ethernet disk mini, it does exactly what it says it will and does it quietly, what's more I can add further storage via the USB 2 port should we ever need it. My only quibble is that you cannot map a drive to a level above the shares, so if you have a lot of shares they need to be mapped seperately. I got around this by having one share with subfolders set to my preference.
The device has a gigabit ethernet port and when I started moving our music onto their I realised why. The computer I was moving files from is attached to a 10Mb hub, which is fine for internet use and for moving smaller stuff about but for this it is painfully slow. As a result I am now the proud owner of an 8 port gigabit switch. As soon as I get my wife of her computer I will be able to set this up
