LaCie 6 TB Network Attached Storage (9000226) Review

This product is great if you want a home network solution, but if you want this to work with remote access, be prepared to have constant issues, and that was our primary reason for buying it.

The good: I use this as 1) a media server to play movies on my PS3/Xbox, 2) an online filing cabinet. Works great for both these purposes and my wife and I have no issues sharing documents and streaming movies from the product. Access is fast and haven't had issues with this. A tip: if you add movies to your Lacie and you want them to show up on your PS3, make sure you re-index. Which brings me to the annoying...

The annoying: The documentation for this device is horrible. No tips. Support sucks. No good forums on this device to google. So learning to index above took several hours when movies weren't showing up on my media server but were on the Lacie. Also, when software is updated so the menus change in the dashboard, instructions are not. So you'll refer back to instructions that are no longer relevant.

The bad: The iPhone app is horrible and remote web access is inconsistent. I've had a number of issues where our IP address has changed and remote access stopped working as a result. Easy fix, but could never get a straight answer from support on why this would happen. This product is advertised as for the non technie. I think I'm more technical than your average person (knowing how to get into routers, port forward, get into computers remotely, etc...), but certainly not a networking expert, so figuring this stuff out when things go wrong takes considerable time. I've spent countless hours port forwarding and troubleshooting to get the app to work. What is very frustrating is it worked great when it started up and for a few months after. After about 3 months, the remote access stopped working. About 8 months later, I was able to get the browser access to work. The iPhone app still doesn't work and I'm going back and forth with customer service on it.

Support is responsive, but they often blame everything on the router, which is then out of their hands. For such an expensive device, had i known remote access was such an issue, I would of looked into alternative solutions.
