Legally purchased media still exists? I thought every store in the world had closed down because you might distribute the music you buy, or you might reverse engineer that refrigerator and sell copies on the black market.

This is obviously not meant for you then.
For those of us looking for massive storage, this is nice.
You want fast? You want SSD in raid as your primary.
Don't buy it.
Don't really need to hear your pointless complaints about it either.

I have my own pointless complaint about it. It looks like crap.

Could always use more storage. Lots of acquired media, backups, programs and last but not least, AH! My beloved pornography! :)

It has "Dual DOM." It claims "In a business environment, maintaining functional operation on storage device is critical. With the unique dual-DOM design, an extra DOM is installed to ensure continuous and flawless operation on N5500. Users do not need to worry about down-time due to unexpected system failure."
Umm, I've only been in this business thirty-five years. What's a DOM?

maddogoo9 your an idiot. This is network storage not storage you would play games on. Stop playing WOW long enough to learn what the hell your talking about or just shut up so everyone else doesn't have to waist there time ready your ignorant rambles. It also looks much better in person. I have the 5200 and the pix here look very bad. It is much cleaner in person.
