The Good: The Acer Aspire EasyStore H340 offers fast performance and is a good storage and backup solution at an affordable price. Its storage capacity is easily expandable and its remote over-the-Internet access is useful and convenient. The server is also quiet and aesthetically pleasing.

The Bad: Acer's Aspire EasyStore H340 is just a basic Home Server-based network-attached storage server (NAS) without any special features. The server doesn't offer RAID, an IP camera, or printer support, and its initial setup was a bit buggy. It doesn't support Apple Time Machine, either.

The Bottom Line: The Acer Aspire EasyStore H340 is an affordable and flexible NAS solution for both homes and small businesses that don't require advanced features from their networks.
