I have one and I've used it a bit...one caveat that you should be aware of is that it'll ask you to format whatever disk you attach to it as it doesn't support Fat32/NTFS out of the box. As far as I remember it doesn't have print server functionality out of the box either..although it's been a while since I used the thing. If you intend changing the firmware that's on it you'll be able to get it to act as a print server.
