While taking up considerably less space than a shoebox, this little device seamlessly allows users to add additional storage to any network in less than five minutes. Today we review the Snap Appliance 80GB Snap Server 1100. This compact NAS (network attached storage) device has many great features including: 5 minute installation, a compact web and ftp server, or simply a network share. Most importantly it works in a network mixed with Windows, Netware, UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh machines.

Product Packaging:
The time and care taken to package the Snap Server was very apparent when removing this product from the box. Everything was individually packaged in a collection of boxes with a thick foam shell surrounding the device itself. (Be sure to note the agreement printed on the seal, which warns users to read the license agreement before proceeding with installation). There is no doubt the Snap Server will get to you unharmed; your investment will be well protected.
