Second ... MMM in soviet russia, printers are OF usb!
so i guess size DOES matter
i bought one of these for my little boy (only 3 years old) from walmart and there were some half eaten hashbrowns from mcdonalds inside instead of the hard drive, he has been crying ever since that moment, i think it has scarred him for life. can engadget buy us a new one? it was autographed by bill gates and steve jobs too.
How long you been waiting to bust that one out.
Congratulations, Familyguyrokz. You blatantly made an ass of yourself by being another first-spewing idiot.
Why don't you comment on the article rather than racing to be stupid?

Sigh, if you're gonna put a 0 in it, at least have the decency to spell it 'pr0n'. Don't go halfway on the 1337z0rZ, d00d.

wow, now thats wat i call innovative. learn from it EeePC (Asus ).
It's 40x135x80mm for 1TB RAID 0/1...
Pretty cool, but over $800????? You have a serious addiction if you pick one up at that cost... :)
What does ITunes capability mean?

it means that instead of using a computer that will need to be left on all the time on your network inorder to be a centralized iTunes sharing node.. put your iTunes library on this NAS and it will broadcast as an iTunes node that everyone on your LAN can stream from.
I seriously like the concept (but not the price). Why? Because it should be QUIET! Potentially quiet enough to install in your living room or bedroom (or both if you live in a bachelor apartment) without being noticeable.
hehe...cant imagine a guy sitting wid his finger on the F5 key for that...hehe...wat an ass
Um, what are you talking about Engadget?
Having 2 2.5" drives close together is FINE. Go take a look at all the new storage servers from Rackable, Dell, HP, and IBM using 2.5" drives in "close proximity" before you imply bad design.
It was a joke, not a comment on design. That's a ton of storage for 2.5" drives.
Nope - it was definitely a comment about the design... "Dual 500GB 2.5-inch hard drives were just never meant to be in this close of proximity. Oh, it has RAID 0 / RAID 1? We suppose those 1's and 0's will just have to suffer."
Hahahahaha.... they're talking about the 1s and 0s as if they're people... like they're all crammed into this tiny little space.
If you think the post was written seriously you need to to start looking for your sense of humor because you've obviously lost it...
How is it powered?
I guess 1 USB port would be impossible, but 2 ports and no external power would be awesome.
It's a NAS, so it's intended to stand alone... therefore, external power is probably a safe assumption.
Dude...he likes family guy, give him a break :(
2.5? so this means this would work with ps3? too bad the ps3 isn't hacked cuz u could run over 90 ps3 games on the hdd,Or over 50 depending on how big the games are.
It means that there is 2.5" hard drives inside of it. It does not mean it is a 2.5" drive. Does that look like a hard drive to you?
Hey guys! Posting from November 2009, via time machine. So what is this thing? It has the capacity of the PicoSD cards that come with our new 12TP cameras... you know, those "throw away" cards that only hold a few pictures.
