The Pros:Great media streaming compatibility - can stream to iTunes, UPnP/DLNA devices, Xbox 360, PS3 etc. Good value - costs less than Apple's Time Capsule product. Looks good - minimalist, sleek design by Neil Poulton.
The Cons:Glossy enclosure - attracts fingerprints and shows dust. Technical support is not offered by phone unless owners submit a request online. Requires a firmware update to automatically spin down the unit's hard drive.

It is likely the strongest competitor to emerge against Apple's Time Capsule, which also combines wireless routing with network storage (in identical capacity options), yet at significantly higher price points. The 2TB Time Capsule is $200 more expensive than the 2TB WIreless Space, but has some unique features, including dual-band Wi-Fi and guest networking. The LaCie device is PC- and Mac-compatible, and fully supports Time Machine.
