About $800-900++ ish only for the unit itself.

now thats what im talking about shame about the price.

ok picked up both today nexstar brand
one is a sata with external sata cable to the computer

the other is a nexstar caddy with rj45 connection to the hub.

gotta wait to get home tonight to try them out

Does Nexstar running on 10/100mbps RJ45 or Gigabit? If you transfering a big file (ie. 7-16gb), it will be painful. Thecus has a model that carries 2 hdd and runs on Gigabit, but you also need a gigabit switch then... or crossover cable straight to your pc.

Cheers

i dont think its gigabit. though it does seem quit fast considering.

saying that vista giving me all sorts of problems with the caddys.. driving me crazy

For future reference I find AusPCMarket to be a good point of reference even if you don't choose to buy from them. Has a nice layout and a fair amount of details on stuff:

And here's a fair few links from Dan's Data, he's always on the lookout for a good value NAS. The article is a bit old now but still some good info to be had. Aparently the hardest thing to find is one that spins down your hard drives when not in use. If your only going to turn the drives on/off as needed then I guess this isnt an issue.
