• "Our overall impression of the SCALEO Home Server was extremely positive."
• "The SCALEO is extremely silent."
• "The Power Management add-in and the SCALEO Wake up software gives the SCALEO in our point of view a lead over its competitors."

• "Overall, it’s a great package, as you’d expect from a major OEM release."
• "Possibly the most unique hardware feature of the Scaleo Home Server (aside from the two eSATA ports on the back) is it’s unique internal design."
• "The Fujitsu-Siemens Scaleo Home Server is a very strong contender in the fledgling home server category, offering a decent specification and in Scaleo Power Management, a great add-in for the energy-conscious."
• "Fujitsu-Siemens are really pushing the green agenda, and the Scaleo has a better power consumption performance to the HP MediaSmart Server (based on the OEM’s own stats) with 80W of power consumed compared to the HP’s 99W, when running at full load with 4 drives on board."

• "There's a lot to like about Fujitsu's take on Home Server: a lot of intelligent thought has clearly gone into
  the feature-set, and while it's bulky, it is at least quiet, efficient and nicely self-contained."
• "… we were pleased with the Scaleo's whisper-quiet operation …"

• "The solid hardware and great range of services of Windows Home Server make the device a practical solution for the everyday problems in a digital household."


• "Operation is easy to manage even for technically less versed users – and in case you have any problems the very good printed user's guide provides assistance."


• "The sophisticated and reliable energy-saving mechanism provides relief for the environment and your budget."

• " It has plenty of sockets and ports for adding devices, and it's very fast one of the fastest home servers we've seen with excellent performance across the network."

• " The server console is a cheerful affair that's very easy to navigate. You can view all attached computers and configure backup settings for each one, set up user accounts and create shared folders."
• " Fujitsu Siemens has added a few extra touches itself as the appliance comes with a TwonkyVision MediaServer add-in that enables you to stream multimedia content to digital media receivers."
• " The Scaleo power management is another preinstalled add-in and this lets you set daily schedules that determine when the appliance is to be woken up. Once outside these times the appliance will be placed in a hibernate mode to save power."
