I wanted this product for 2 main reasons - 1. as a place to backup files & 2. As a place to centralize and share my media. I chose this one specifically because it comes with a media server built in - I have a Roku Soundbridge and wanted it to interface...

Strength

Looks nice, backs up your files well.

Weakness

Not as fast as I would like, usual abysmal HP "support"

Bottom Line

Not quite the center of your media universe if you're using an 802.11b network....or any problems

Summary

I set up my HP Media Vault Pro mv2040 about a week ago. I have bought this primarily to back up multiple PCs on my home network. I was looking for a simple, fact and automated way to do backups. I have read many reviews of other brands Network Hard...

Strength

Easy Installation, back up time reasonable, plenty of space.

Weakness

Poor manual, software could be improved, one of the 2 drives is not user replaceable.

Bottom Line

So far, no problems. Check you firewall if your drive is not recognized.
