In what possible way is a WHS not a better purchase than this? These are stupid expensive.
I just bought a HP EX490 (495 isn't available outside the states) and will be chucking 8tb in it with an intel e7500. Wont cost me much more than this rubbish and will do tonnes more.
I'm glad I didn't buy a NAS earlier this year when considering it.
@Sicarius123 HP Mediasmart does not do RAID. No truely common environment for filestorage for MAC, Linux and PC. By the time you expand the storage to same as a NetGear NAS, cost is comparable. No offsite sync via rsync to another device. WHS is nice, but not quite comparing apples to apples here.
