Storage cost per gigabyte decreases by like half every year so what does the cost 7 years ago matter at all?

Especially when I can get the Buffalo with RAID for the same price:

Or the slightly more feature rich MicroNet dealie for a little more:

And what's with the Micronet specing 'compatible' OS's? If it and you have network access and you are able to map to network drive and it's control consol is web-based (I assume), what does the OS have to do with it?]]>Jun 1st 2007 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/31/lacies-ethernet-big-disk-nas-hits-2tb/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/31/lacies-ethernet-big-disk-nas-hits-2tb/
It's probably an artifact of CDW's page design. Looking at both Buffalo and MicroNet's sites, they call it OS Support, which IMO is distinctly different than 'compatibility'. It at least implies that they offer troubleshooting for those platforms.

The LaCie also has such a section and it's much larger than either of their competitors, although I can't imagine how many Windows98 users they're actually taking calls from...]]>Jun 1st 2007 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/31/lacies-ethernet-big-disk-nas-hits-2tb/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/31/lacies-ethernet-big-disk-nas-hits-2tb/Jun 1st 2007 4:03PM
