Sarotech's WizPlat boxes 4TB NAS with BitTorrent client, biscuits

Let's be honest: the standout feature of the WizPlat NAS-20 is its boxed-lunch design. Otherwise, it's a pretty standard network attached storage device offering Gigabit ethernet, up to 4TB (2TB per 3.5-inch bay) in RAID 0/1 or JBOD configs, 2x USB for more storage, FTP, SAMBA, iTunes, and printer servers, and integrated BitTorrent client for 24/7 PC-less downloads. Unfortunately the design, while portable, pretty much eliminates any hope of constructing a stacked monument to copyright infringement.

I wish case makers employed same designers behind this product, instead of the usual nerdy Taiwanese designers.

They do - most people just don't want to shelve out more than a few bucks for a case and end up getting the cheapest crap they can find instead of a decent one. Lian Li being a good example here.

nice - but at what cost?

There's a joke a joke in there about Biscuits, Gravy, and Copyright infringement but I just can't see it.

Because there's no way to, you know, lay it on its side.

Meh, it's just portable. The away team for LAN parties and such, if you will.

[Nicnac Posted Sep 17th 2009 11:00AM]

because what we really want out of a small, spacious, home media server with bit torrent, is to stack more than one...

But I already picked up a DS409 and it has the same specs, plus two more bays!

Looks like a great, though funky design, NAS. I am actually looking to get a NAS soon, would like to pick this up, though I can't find a web site to see how much. Does anyone have any other suggestions on NAS with pretty much all these features, especially the bit torrent client?
