I got two of these babies today, and at a glance I am very impressed!
They are extremly quiet, nearly inaudible. Setup is a breeze as they are already formatted as OSX journaled. Tranferring 50 Gig from an external LACIE eSata (I am geting rid of them) took 9 minutes over the SONNET E4P eSata card.
The are preconfigured as RAID-0 but could be driven as RAID-1 if desired.
Case is plastic, but what the Hell, I rather have a plastic casing and a reliable drive than an aluminium case and a sucker like the Lacies. Somewhat a chunky but nice looking drive in deed.
Price I payed in Germany was Euro 220 ex Vat.
