@eissa I don’t see any reason why they should charge money for canceling accounts.
Try contacting them about removing your account.

Hi. i would just like to ask if getafreelancer.com would charge me money if I cancel my account? I really can’t understand their instructions. Please do help me. I have gotten a project but something important came up and I wasn’t able to do the project. They said that I have received $5 in my account. I am very much confused. How do i get myself suspended from that site? That site really sucks. I do hope to get a reply from you.

@jpo no you can’t. The unit has 2 USB ports, but they are used to connect additional storage TO the NAS.

Can you connect this to a desktop like a regular USB drive?

@Hamblingpc
In this case, the low price of the unit had a definite downside concerning quality. I won’t ever buy anything else from Edimax again, no matter how cheap it is.

I just got mine working after a month. The Edimax support are fairly useless, asking stupid questions and delaying the process. I cannot get the NAS to stream with my xbox 360, and have no idea whether it should be able to or not. Basically, I wish I had bought a buffalo drive. You live and learn ay?

It’s worth nothing if you don’t brag to your friend about it :P

@mixman, why should I sell it if it’s working fine? :)

Hi Alecs,

In my opinion you bought a good price/performance product in the moment you did that firmware upgrade.
It seems that this device gave you some head aches – but look at it this way, it gave you the “ambition” to write this nice review and share it with us :)
Are you going to sell it?

@markdj: you’re so cool having a gigabitLAN at home, can I please get an autograph? pff.

Thanks for the appreciation… but after having to deal with dumb products and crappy firmwares you don’t feel the need to write a fair review.

Actually the bittorent wasn’t the only issue. I had to frequently restart the NAS because all the servers (file, web, ftp) would stop responding for no reason. After installing the firmware from planex I don’t remember doing that even once.

I don’t have a gigabit router on my network so it wouldn’t be fair to test transfer speeds.

Finally, I don’t have noise measurement devices. My computer is also louder than the average machine so it’s no use comparing the two.
The HDDs are Western Digital Caviar Green. I doubt there is any significant difference with or without them running.
