Personally I would pay more attention to the actual user reviews from 
people who have paid for the equipment and use it everyday, as opposed 
to one or two guys who got it for free and used it for a couple of 
evenings and probably only tried out 10% of the functionality.  Did they 
even test out the external HD capability in their review?  If so did 
they mention the problems you had?

Some appear to work better than others though (according to the reviews 
I read), at least you know you bought the one with the fewest bugs :-)
