Well I’ve officially broken my first review sample. I’m not sure what happened, but I was setting up the NAS, playing around with the features, and otherwise preparing for what should have been a fairly interesting episode of Tech Tips

Then BAM!

We’re in the Tech Tips studio and I’m getting ready to start showing all of the cool features like scheduled backups to the Blu-Ray drive, RAID configuration, fast network transfer speeds and all I get on the front LCD is “Initializing Kernel” over and over again. I can’t help but wonder if maybe there’s something wrong with the power delivery in the Tech Tips room because we’re not running it off a UPS, but I’m pretty sure I know a borked firmware when I see one and I certainly didn’t try to update it.

Oh well. Back to the drawing board for a new topic I guess. We’ve had some requests for a video card overclocking guide, so maybe something like that would be appropriate.
