| Sounds cool, but I think that could have done a little better on the pricing. That's a little steep for a barebones. |

I still have not owed a Drobo yet but want one some day soon. They are rather costly though.
Scott from the MacBreak Weekly podcast uses one of his to boot from. He owns 20+. |

I don't like drobo for other reasons, but what nas solution that holds 5 2tb drives is under 400? I am using 4 drive owc mercury quads as raids and I like them they are 319 empty and are very fast but they are not nas.

I use the fw800 connection. I would love for this to be a nas.
