| I like the black. I wouldn't mind having one of the empty enclosures. |

You know what they say, black is the new silver. 
I'm pretty impressed with the fetures of this external after reading more about it. I would feel as snug as a bug in a rug with RAID 1, a disk 2 shadow and Time Machine. The auto-rebuild feature would be nice to have too. |

Yeah, they are a bit pricey. I guess you have to consider that two drives are being used. No doubt that makes them a little more expensive.

Even Dell, HP and some of the other Windows box makers went with white for a while. It looks like they are all heading back to black though. |

Only if the black MacBook, iPods and iPhone are a sign of things to come. They are still primarily a white and silver company.
