WTF,
how can they call it "Network Storage Enclosure" if it has NO network ports?!

that's my exact question. how does that work?

Classic base of Ben being the Buy.com whore and not validating a merchant's claims. Although, technically it would require an ethernet port if the product labeled itself as a NAS (network attached storage).

Consider buying from Amazon for $76.59 (free shipping)... better return policy, better customer service, better merchant. It will likely arrive twice as fast using their free shipping vs. Buy.com since Buy is slower to process and ship orders.

NOTE: I have no experience with this product. NewEgg only has 1 review which gives it a lukewarm rating and dings it on being a bit overpriced for what it does (and lacks).

I think you have to add the network, by attaching it to a networked computer and voila!

Exactly the opposite of my experiences using Buy vs Amazon.

Had a GPS on order from Amazon, after not shipping for 2-days, I canceled the order with Amazon, ordered from Buy and Buy shipped that evening.

As a result, I never order from Amazon if I'm in a hurry. Otherwise I'm pleased with Amazon.

Keep all your secrets in this box. ha.. nice cool.

#5 I've only had a similar experience when the item shipped from a 3rd party merchant, but if the item says it's "In Stock - ships from Amazon" then you can bank on receiving an email from them that your item has shipped w/in 24 hours of the next business day.

Now if you ordered a price mistake or a high demand item (e Wii), then I could see an exception.
