A sober gray box, the ix2 is as compact as dual 3.5-inch SATA-II hard-drives will let it be.

To be fair, it’s a pretty huge challenge. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a nicer looking network hard-drive, or one so straightforward to set up, but Time Capsule undoubtedly has its caveats.
Cheetah 15K.6 hard drives from Seagate shipping – not quite as cheesy as Chester
These are 3.5” hard drives that would only end up in a home computer if it were and uber-l33t gaming computer. That’s to say they are fast, expensive, and only have Fibre Channel or SAS connection options.
