Waiting impatiently for Digital Home’s review. The main questions:
- presence of the “format both drives when adding a new one” bug,
- real network speed over CAT6.
Wait for Lacie’s and Promise to implement intel thunderbolt technology drive which will be able to interface with almost any old ports via an adapter. This new DLINK product is so oldschool in tech it makes me want to puke at the idea of it being advertised as New!!!
Get FreeNas it does all that and more. Runs off of any old 1GB or smaller memory stick. Turn an old workstation into a drive bay. Drives are cheap!! It is a wicked bittorrent server too!
