Glad to see the introduction of 4GB series, descending prices for the lesser models for all the professionals like us.

At what point does it become excessively pedantic to point out errors in the comments section rather than the main article?

At this point, I'd say :)

We don't have the functionality to allow user-editing of Comments, so once you hit enter you're stuffed. Besides, typing GB instead of TB is so easily done. It just happens that some of us have the necessary tools to cover our tracks, but you guys don't (yet) :)

Okay, but "P2P fantatics" clearly is a spelling mistake unless fantatics is hip P2P insider lingo for fanatics. Maybe that's why it's scratched out... ;)

Can you RAID 1 it if you don't want your data to go "poof" if a drive fails (OK< you only have 2TB's then)

Could you run this is a backup config eg RAID 1 (I think its raid 1 could b raid 0 - whichever 1 backs things up) - great technical terms :-). If you could that would be sweet to get 2TB

Its nice to have RAID as option but it is still a single point of failure no matter how you configure. I am in need of a storage upgrade but holding off until the inevitable price realignments later this year.

Yep, RAID 1 mirroring available.

Might have to get one of these as backup to my 1Tb RAID 1 NAS (Netgear Readynas DUO). Shame the 2Tb drives aren't cheap on their own or a 2Tb 2nd NAS would be an idea - if the Readynas supports the drives yet.

building the hunger of Usenet aficionados. - ONLY 4TB? not sufficient for this aficionado ;)

Anyway, I much prefer my own method of creating NAS/SANS..cheaper too I bet!
