Input: I wanted to like this, but I'm a little peeved that the negatives are not readily apparent in the specs.<br /><br />Two big negatives:<br /><br />1) External power supply. A BIG external PS, the size of a brick.<br />2) No RAID software, it does not come w/SoftRaid. SoftRaid cost $175! Do the math.<br /><br />Positives:<br /><br />1) Its well built, very solid, heavy<br />2) If you just want JBOD or are a manly man Running RAID 0 (Mac OS Disk Manager), or RAID 1 and want to save money vs. ThunderBay<br />3) the handle might be a plus, but you still have to carry the big honking PS.<br />4) I got 650 MB/s, RAID 0 with 4 HGST NAS drives<br />5) I got 465/430 MB/s read/write with SoftRaid RAID 5<br />6) you can always try some freeware RAID (at your own risk)<br />7) Low Cost if the negatives don't matter.
Output:
External Power Supply, No RAID software.
