Its a linux box why would it run NTFS? ext3 is at least an equal to NTFS and since its a network device and not a USB device why would you care what the underlying hard drive format is?
slower than I thought it would be LAN wise, although I dont know if that's because i'm running it through two homeplugs (through the house mains) which are both on extension leads, so they're not getting their top speeds. I'm also running it off a flash drive rather than a hard drive, which I imagine will make it even slower.
Probably better to ask someone who's running their machine directly to the router and using a proper drive.

Cause I don't intend on keeping my hard drive permanently affixed to it, and since NTFS is the standard for drives these days on Windows, NTFS would almost be considered a requirement for the majority of people to make proper use of the device.
this device looks like the perfect way to share a printer and an HDD over the home LAN - It seems to be the cheapest solution to that problem ,even without the BT client.
Anyone know if it handles multi-funtion printers - ie can you scan over the LAN from a printer/fax/scanner ?
