Since when is ethernet suitable for connecting external storage? It may work, but for crying out loud, the thing has three different ways of hooking into it (four if you count FireWire 400 & 800 as two different interfaces), all of which will work easily and quickly without having to tie up a network port.
Also, the $500 buys you an external drive bay with an onboard RAID controller, not storage per se. Complain about what they charge for the drives themselves, if you like; at least that would be pertinent. There really aren’t many people making a product like this; I know because (unlike the author) I’ve looked around. What I’d like to hear is some informed feedback from someone who’s actually used the thing, instead of a jackass who looked at a picture and wrote whatever came into his head.
Do you have any non-Special-Olympians who write reviews on this site? Have them pick one of these things up and write this article over again.
