Patriot Gauntlet Node Portable Wireless 2.5″ HDD Enclosure Review

Typing “http://10.10.10.254” into your browser provides access to the ‘Gauntlet Connect' user interface. Security and settings can be changed from this interface – we opted for a password-protected WPA2-PSK configuration. The Gauntlet Node's status and connected devices can also be viewed.

Using a Windows computer, access to the Gauntlet Node's streamed files can be obtained by typing “\\10.10.10.254” into the Windows search box. OSX users must treat the Gauntlet Node as a server, selecting the “Connect to Server” input before typing “smb://10.10.10254” in the “Server Address” space.

Connection instructions are provided in the manual and Patriot does a good job at making them easy to understand.

    DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT. It does not work even with instructions from the vendor. The SDD I purchased did not work. They wanted me to install another drive an attempt to update the firmware in order for the unit to recognize the SSD. Hogwash. The second drive didn’t work. It is as someone described in a blog that it is like the unit recognizes the drive when directly connected to a PC through USB, but when you switch to wireless mode and check status.. no drive. Are they serious is selling this unit and expecting people to have to jump through hoops to make it work, only to find out it doesn’t work. Now I am stuck returning it to NewEgg and dealing with the shipping and $15 restocking fee.
