This is the typical price on newegg and I have seen it for as low as $325 on special.
I hear it is quite noisy.
They're practically giving them away, huh Ben? Btw, how much commission do you receive when you have a hit?
It just does RAID 1. You could get all Drobo has to offer and more by picking up a Windows Home Server. I built my own for about $1200, but of course my server has 12TB of space included in that price...
The dotcom millionaires still shop at Ben's, i guess.
Uh... yeah, newegg $424 before $50 MIR = $374

Read the absolute horror stories before getting one of these. This isn't even good as a backup backup controller.
Lol, who needs gigabit ethernet. It's overrated.
Does anyone use Firewire anymore?
are there any affordable RAID5 enclosures?
#4 - That sounds interesting... What motherboard did you use, and did you add additional SATA controllers?
I use firewire *and* gigabit ethernet. Both are great. Firewire beats the pants off of USB2 in practice, and gigabit multiplies net throughput to the point that remote access on a LAN works in human time (although granted not as fast as the hardware 1Gbps theoretical rate).
And both can be implemented for much, much less that 5 x 10^2 $$, or even 3 x 10^2 $$. But why would anyone want raid in the server box since transfers will be rate-limited by the Gb ethernet?
