Over All Rating Reviews :
For file safety it would be better if they supported ext3, rather than just ext2, and they should document it. But unless you kill the power to this thing without letting it shut down, it shouldn't be an issue. (And like all data storage devices, it should be on a decent UPS.)
Tech support is tedious, but if you refuse to simply reformat and try again, they will get you to someone who knows something about this stuff. And this is pretty much par for the course with this kind of consumer device.
For home or very small office use, I think that most people will simply create a use-everything group and put all users in that group. And for private data you can create private folders. The tedious part is that a user can only be in one group.
As for different user names and passwords, mapping a hetwork drive isn't that difficult for most people, so long as one doesn't need fine-grained control. And it can be done once and forgotten - for most needs.
Also, if one is a hacker, there is a very active group of people writing additional ways to manipulate the linux environment on this device. For instance, though the USB port is meant only to use used as a printer port, it is trivially easy to set it so that an external usb drive can be connected to backup the device.
Martin also ignored performance, yet this is perhaps the best-performing device out there for the money. And, at this price point, this thing delivers a lot for the money.
