Would be good but for this -

Supports 3.5inch IDE / FAT32 HDD

Anyone still use FAT32?

I think the manufacturers have made it fat32 so that the shares can be accessed from any operating system by default.

Also it looks like the o/s doing the sharing on it is linux anyway so there are limitations to what disk formats it can use.

I would think it might be the same with most devices of this sort.
