Wireless storage . Good reliable wireless storage. Runs Linux so will be ready in about 1 minute after power up. Had some issues but proved to be caused by an old, bad hard drive. It's been running for about a month now, pretty much 24/7.
Easy to set, too.

Cons Review
Has some shortcomings . I bought this with the idea of having a wireless storage system that could be visible on my network but could be placed anywhere a power outlet was available. I was also looking at attaching a big Seagate Freeagent drive to serve as the storage device through the USB ports provided.
I am 0 for 2: the TS-i300W refuses to connect to my wireless network and after searching the "documentation" (which is criminally sparse) it turns out that the Freeagent NTFS drives can only be mounted read-only.
I grudgingly bought a WD 320 GB drive (PATA only, difficult to find now that SATA has pretty much become the dominant format) and installed it as the internal drive, but after waiting an hour for it to format, I am left with a drive that is not recognized by the unit and no available storage at all. The weight of the useless drive does stabilize the unit, so I guess that's the one plus.
Another review I found said after paying for the Trendnet and a hard drive you have paid as much as if you had just bought another vendor's NAS, which would have been a better choice for me.
