I find it amazing how technology has gone so far in the last ten years….whilst prices have come down. Go figure!

$210 is a bargain indeed!

Hi jlava,

The axentra team would like to invite you to join the HipServ forums at http://hipservforums.axentra.com/ . If you are experiencing issues with your HipServ or would like to provide comments/suggestions, we welcome them on the forum. Please note that we’ve recently released the HipServ 1.6.2 update which rectifies the problems which were causing slowness and frequent disconnects. It also enables a new feature, the ability to access your HipServ with a mobile handheld device.

Although the LaCie ED Mini – Home Edition may not have the horsepower of a HP MediaSmart Server, it sure holds it’s own on the horspower per dollar value.

Thank you Joseph for the great review, we are glad you enjoy the product.

I keep meaning to buy a home server or at least put one together – it would certainly solve my problem of leaving my main PC on all the time to ensure access to media files!

almost as muscle flexing as the MediaSmart Server? You Sure? What are the read/write speeds? How expandable is it? Have you actually used HipServ for any extended period of time? I have – it’s slow and unreliable. Do a little research before you make absurd statements.
