"The best available NAS/Media Server for the price"
Pros: Inexpensive, expandable, easy to set up.
Cons: Only one expansion bay.
Summary: I was eager to try the Windows Home server version of this unit but the $500.00 price tag scared me away. This Linux based version cuts cost and offers essentially the same *************. It allowed me to move my music collection off my laptop and have a RAID 1 mirrored backup copy (with the extra drive.) I like the security that offers because hard drives do fail, and I've spent a lot of time gathering music so I don't want just one copy on one drive. This was easy to set up and has worked pretty flawlessly over the past week that I have had it.

Is this a subscription service? I saw somewhere that the first year is 'free', but I don't know what the regular rate will be afterwards.
I'm mad - got a Buffalo Linkstation 1 month ago, before this was out. Might ebay it and get one of these, but at least with Buffalo remote access is free...
Thanks!
