hard drives

Review of a NAS device I'm considering. I don't like that
a) It is difficult to find out that a drive has failed.
b) If you lose a drive, you can't rebuild without losing all your data.

Quoted: In this review I'll try out Iomega's one-terabyte StorCenter, a dual-drive, gigabit-capable NAS device that supports RAID level 1. This model has fewer features than the NAS devices in Iomega's "Pro" line, but on the plus side, it offers basic NAS functionality and can be picked up for under $400 for a Terabyte of storage!

This model looks pretty good. It is $300 at Buy.Com after $30 rebate.

Quoted: The G-Force MegaDisk NAS also supports robust RAID disk configurations including RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD, and SPAN. There are dual USB 2.0 expansion ports that enable the attachment of printers to the MegaDisk NAS, which can be used in conjunction with the integrated print server transforming USB printers into shared network devices. Also included is an unattended Bit Torrent download manager, allowing large downloads to be scheduled for non-disruptive off-peak hours.

I'm looking at increasing the hard drive space on my Macbook Pro and this company produces hard drives which replace the DVD/CD Burner. You can put the DVD/CD Burner into an external closure and max out your hard drive capacity.
