Just a quick update for anyone looking at purchasing this drive: Upon receiving my enclosure and installing two drives, I realized that there was no documentation for switching the RAID configuration between RAID 0, 1 and SPAN. However, after speaking with OWC support I learned that they had just yesterday finished developing a mac-based utility that allows users to change the configuration. The link is as follows: http://home2.owc.net/~tech/OWC/936AP%20for%20MAC.zipHope this helps.
Exactly what I was wondering. If they found a way to include Magsafe in this setup, I would be 100% on board...
w00t. Here's my write-up on why I bought this drive (although I bought the enclosure instead): http://jevidon.tumblr.com/post/68560680/wir-001-buying-a-new-external-hd-enclosure

I was amazed at how few available options for dual-drive enclosure with eSATA are out on the market. Drobo is a great piece of eqiupment, but you're not reaching the full potential of your drive speeds. It's one thing to have a bottleneck on your PC/Mac that you can eventually upgrade, but limiting yourself on the drive enclosure itself is just stupid.

Oh, and speaking of stupid, let's give a big round of applause to those that lambaste this enclosure for only doing RAID 0 and 1. What was OWC thinking!!! :)
Holy schneikers that is an ugly freakin camera.
Doesn't anybody care that it only provides USB 2.0 connectivity? eSATA should be standard on almost all desktop external HD's... Try this one on for size: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/PerformanceRAID. Yes you're going to be paying more money, but the difference in speed is worth it IMO.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
