Steel all the music you want, but the hardware we must protect.

I figured someone would bring that up... I was refering to Raid 5.

Here is the deal if you get the MicroNet Platinum NAS using RAID 0/1/5 with 4 1t drives...

Raid 0 - 4t available
By definition RAID level 0 is not RAID because it does not provide data redundancy. Data is striped across all drives without parity.

Raid 1 - 2t available
Data is written to a primary disk and a secondary disk. Identical data is stored (mirrored) on both disks.

Raid 5 - 3t available
Data is striped across a group of disk drives with distributed parity. Parity information is written to a different disk in the array for each stripe. Data is regenerated in the event of a drive failure.

Now this is serious stuff right here... 4 swap drives and dual-channel gigabit Ethernet, very nice. If the 4t version isn't too expensive, I'm all over it...

You guys that are fighting over 100 meg of space. In a raid setup, one drive is dedicated for rebuild purposes. So you are only looking at about 3g...

Bottom line... for a little more money, get a value added Mac Mini and use Front Row.

I'm expecting more studio deals to be announced as well. More TV and Movie content. Could even reach to Movie rentals and the all powerful IPTV. If apple can get Apple TV hardware into the home, the possibilities are endless.

Well I can think of one reason... revenue! But, I agree with you.

Andy, you are sadly mistaken if you think this thing comes with drives in it...
600 dollars! Wow... Might as well get a nice NAS system for the home...

$1,200 is just crazy. You might as well buy a nice NAS setup and have 1-2 terabytes of storage at you finger tips... for less then $1,200

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
