I own the Freecom 3TB for a while now and am really happy with this device.
Thanks to a passive radiator (aluminum housing) the device dispenses entirely with a noisy active cooling.
Thus, the device as a media server is ideal because you can you connect without problems to a TV, etc. Fritzbox and it does not really stand by annoying Lütftergeräusche.
Due to the complex connectivity (eSATA, USB 3.0, etc.) it is ideally suited for PC and Apple users.
The data rate is also very high (read and write)
Puts the best ever device in this price range and a must for anyone on the Flüsterlaufwerke value.
