It certainly looks the part, not sure if I misread but is that metal or silver plastic? Oh and MioNet, are they OSX compatible? It reminds me when I bought a 1TB MyBook which obviously came with MioNet and not even did it have Vista support - this is something like 18 months back?

Any, performance results (as I don't know how'd they compare) aside I'm still happy to have bought a Drobo V2, my very own little black box! Nicely ticking away with 4x 1TB F1's.

It's pretty amazing to see how many are being produced by all the different companies nowadays with clearly many people seeking much more storage at home!

The review states that the ShareSpace does not support UPnP media services yet the Western Digital website claims that it is UPnP certified for streaming multimedia.
"Stream digital media anywhere in your home - Built-in media server for streaming music, photos and movies to any DLNA certified multimedia device such as Playstation® 3, Xbox 360®, wireless digital picture frames, and connected audio receivers. DLNA 1.5 & UPnP certified." Can you please clarify what this actually means? On first read it sounds as though you can stream to UPnP devices but re-reading the statement it appears as though there is only support for streaming to DLNA devices.
