Great deal on a 2 bay NAS! Bought 2 of these before christmas for $80 ARB (no rebate here!) and 2 3TB drives for $90 each for my kids. Tons of features. Small net builder has a good review on them here: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/nas/nas-reviews/31762-iomega-storcenter-ix2-dl-network-storage-reviewed. Not the fastest but faster than some similar ones like the Xyzel one that was posted on here recently for about double the price. 1st NASs I have messed with so can't say how good/bad they are to the alternatives. I know I couldn't build one for $80 but it would likely be faster and more capable. Only issue I had was one of the hard drives was DOA so am RMAing it. The one drive worked great in both NASes. My only wish so far would be for USB3 ports instead of USB2...
