I think you should double check your use of mb and Gb there Tom.

Conor - yes it has 4 x 500mb disks but when it is configured as RAID 5 you have 3 x 500mb usable space!

Surely it has 4 x 500Gb hard disks in it?

If not I think you might have gotten ripped off

Ryan, I bought it from dabs.ie for just over â‚¬1,000 incl. vat and delivery.

So far I am very impresed with it I have to say.

How much Tom? I have a 1TB (2×500GB’s) drive in RAID1 plugged into an airport extreme router at the moment serving my needs but when it’s not hugely well suited to the job. Was thinking of replacing it with a netgear readynas and discreetly running some ethernet cables around the house. We’ve got a terastation pro here at work that’s performed wonderfully on gigabit ethernet. Will be interested to see how you get on with it long term
