    Inferno1217I just can't picture anything from D-Link.No comment about enterprise level hardware but for the most part, I've only owned D-link routers and they're solid. Only time I had something different was a Linksys router, which I returned for a D-link because it kept dropping signal.

    There is no reason for these things to cost as much as they do. And these are right at the bottom starting price range for this catagory, too. Seriously, just cuz you can charge that much doesn't mean you should. Most of these devices, even by the "higher end" brands, are not worth more than maybe $1,000 at best. The devices listed above should not cost more than $300 empty, with no drives installed.

    ...just saying
