gay...I'd rather setup a server with 1 Terabyte of storage made up of 4 250GB Serial ATA drives in a RAID setup...a better setup AND a lot cheaper!



P.S. Sorry for the 100Terabyte typo lol

Element, unless you are using some strange form of math, 4 x 250 GB = 1 TB not 100 TB.
And between the cost of 4 SATA HDDs and the server, you are way over the $1200 list cost of this. And there's the issue of space, this is very compact, far more so than your server.

Pretty interesting comment on the cost of HDD storage, $1.20 a GB. My first 40 MB HDD, just 15 years ago, cost over $500 or about $12,500 a GB. That's a major price drop. Wish everything else had done that (except my income).

Interesting. It claims 800 Mbits/s (100MB/s) with Firewire 800. I wonder what the real life performance is.
1 TB in that small of a package is awesome.

It requires an Apple G4 Processor. Not sure if it works with a G5 but should. Someone with and Apple and a 800 Firewire will have to respond.

The G4 is required only for the Mac. You can use a pc for it as well:

Yep , I knew that. I've looking through so many Laptops and PCs and don't see the Firewire 800. There are PC Cards and PCMCIA Cards. I must have gone loopy.
