cobalt has a major drawback (Score 1)

i have a qube2 and i have to say, i really like the principle....

however, i am attempting to use it as a file server for an all-macintosh network (which they claim cross-compatibility allows) and their version of atalk is faulty. it changes creation dates of files and directories (each time you touch or open a file, the directory date changes... from year 1939 to 1969 to 2015 to 2131 for example). which makes it a pretty useless file server.

furthermore, running a backup of the files touches the files, so every day it appears as if all files have been modified, and they are all backed up again not just the files that really have been modified. this can be pretty annoying on a 13.2 GB hd.

as a stand alone product, i'm farily content. however, for me it is pretty useless. i have heard from their seriously lacking tech support that they know about it, but aren't seriously persuing a fix.

oh well. so much for cross-platform compatibility.
