Be aware when you buy Seagate drives. I bought a retail drive from a retail store, thinking the 5 year warranty is nice. The drive broke after 2.5 years. Upon looking for RMA, Seagate informed me my drive was an OEM drive and refused to honor the warranty.

Not sure why everyone says that it is pricey. It is a NAS drive, which are more pricey than just a usb or firewire. Go to newegg, the cheapest 1 TB NAS is $160.

I like the ideal, but couldn't find it on newegg. I'll go check somewhere else I guess.

[citation][nom]jasonw223[/nom]It's pricey, because a 1 TB NAS for $160 is 1000 times bigger than a 1GB NAS...[/citation]

Tom's made a typo, big surprise.........

yes, no redundancy, but you can plug a second drive into the USB port and back-up to the back-up. Nice that they use Apache. Plus their defaults is no WAN access, but you can enable it as you feel it's appropriate.

nice job, Seagate.
FYI - HDDs are failure prone to begin with, so make your decisions accordingly
