Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have recently received this item and am currently waiting for 4 2TB drives to arrive to load it up.
EDITI installed the 2 TB drives - again no problem and am in the process of copying over about 1.5TB of data.
In the meantime I put 3 500MB drives in that I have laying around and set it up as Raid 5.Set up was a breeze and the unit was ready for data within minutes.
I connected it with the firewire 800 interface.
I copied over about 300 megs of music and photos and the typical copy speed was around 30 meg/s.
Subsequent read speeds were a little higher as was to be expected.
I have just artificially caused and error my removing one drive.Within a minute or so the alarm sounded to alert me to the failure.The data was still intact and available.I replaced the drive and the raid in now rebuilding.
EDIT - It took about 45 minutes or so to rebuild the RAID with about 300 meg of data.
The unit construction is very solid and has a nice look and feel - all metal - no plastic.
When I first powered it up the fans were running very loudly, but in a minute or so they stabilized and the unit is very quiet - about the same noise as my Imac.
Overall I am very satisfied and if it continues this way the I will purchase another unit.
