Nice price as 1TB is approx. $180 now (10/09). It does have idle & sleep functions if you install included software. Nice little unit.

For this price it rules!

Like Jason said, It has no idle or sleep which is a huge minus.

This is a funky NAS with the use of 2.5" 5400RPM notebook hard drives. The upside is that less heat is generated, but the downside is price. 2.5" drives are much more expensive, especially when you're talking about a pair 500 gig 2.5" drives.

Really like it's delivery in performance. One thing I don't like, however, is that it has no sleep or idle spindown.

Jason Brown, August 25, 2008


Pretty good price. It really takes advantage of its gigabit Ethernet port. I like it's new slick black enclosure.
