I am a freelance web developer and am thinking of using this as a file server / backup system. Will this device be able to work with Carbonite or other backup systems?
Carbonite specifically does not support WHS. Other services may, but it seems pretty common to either not allow backing up of network drives, or charging a lot more for it.
One of WHS's quirks is that the storage pool shows up as a network drive even on the server itself, so there is no good way to make it work with online backup services.
Late reply, but there is a free (for now) Jungle Disc plugin for WHS. It uploads to Amazon S3. Will probably be cheaper for most people than Carbonite. http://www.jungledisc.com/homeserver/index.aspx
The whole line-up consists of the $60 Amps in-ears and $100 Tracks on-ear headphones, which both also come in slightly souped-up and pricier HD variations at $100 and $130, respectively.
