ASUS TS Mini SOHO Server (2TB Storage) Review

I got my TS Mini (2TB) about a week ago from AMAZON ([...]) and it was for $[...] with free shipping and got it in 3 days. The outer box said it was 500GB so I got concerned but when I opened it the product box itself said 2TB. I physically opened the server and yes I did indeed see two seagate drives each 1TB. When I booted it up it showed 1TB and also 2GB of memory. Not sure why some other people got the wrong one.

So far I am very happy with its performance as expected from an ASUS product. I own several ASUS products including motherboards, Video cards and related computer equipment.

PROS:
1). Easy to setup - was a breeze to have it "seen" by my other computers on my home network as well as PS3
2). The quality of construction is also good
3). Super quiet can hardly hear it even with my ears up against it
4). Runs surprisingly cool I can barely feel any heat around it the fans run super quiet
5). User friendly interface for management
6). Lots of USB ports and an eSATA port to expand
7). Gigabit port
8). Very low power consumption
9). Tons of great features

CONS:
1). 32-bit Architecture. I wish this was a 64-bit Architecture but for my needs to store and stream data I can live with 32-bit
2). Some of the "advanced" settings are not very clearly indicated/mentioned in the documentation but I was able to get around it by googling some of the info and setting it up that way. I really wish they had provided some instructions how to take full advantage of some of the neat features...they left it for the user to "discover"

Over all a 5 STAR but for the Lack of good documentation/instructions on some advanced features I give it a 4.
