We do like the fact LAN, USB, and eSATA connectors for connecting with PC and adding external discs are provided, but we must keep in mind one thing and that is the fact data transfer ratio of these devices aren't impressive. The fastest way is to use eSATA interface while USB and LAN lagging behind so it will take up to 20 minutes to copy one DVD. However, this cannot be taken as a shortcoming because the main role of this device is working with multimedia files and NMP-1000 is great for that. Its price isn't small but it is very hard to find another device like this at the market offering so much functions and providing solid work.
