Quick because there's not much to say. The thing set up with no problems.
The software installed painlessly and is very easy to use. A set of files
that would have taken about an hour and a half to transfer to computer via
the Ethernet link took about three minutes with the Fireport. Not to
mention how nice it was to just pull the drive out rather than set up the
whole HD24 in it's traveling rack to get to the files. If you routinely
need to transfer large files to computer from the Alesis HD24 recorder, you
should take a look at this little gem.

Here's the link to the product information:

I second this. Ethernet was useless for me. I could never get a complete
transfer without the system hanging. Maybe it's because recording 2 hour
sets give me long files, but without the Firepod, the HD24 would be a
major drag.
