I would really love to see TPU review NAS setups. Transfer rates are all over the place from the reviews I've read and some dont even come with hard drives.

It looks nice, but I simply don't trust anything Seagate has made since they merged with Maxtor. All their drives are cheap and nasty and unreliable and I can see this looking good but on the inside it will be stuck together with sticky tape and glue.
