the 4100 to ensure sales of the bigger units is what I'd guess. Oh well![/quote]

So, basically, the 4100's are pretty much locked down to 137GB, eh?

I did the math on it, and the 705's (4100) are about $360 delivered, then for another $400, you can get 250GB drives, but you can't use them in the snap servers, so you're stuck with about 550GB max on the 4100's then right?

I decided to give the Buffalo 1TB server a try, since it's got 4 USB ports on it and it's gigabit, I should be able to expand that out pretty easily and it was only $925 delivered for a 1TB. I'll config it for Raid 5 (unless I hook up my portable drives to the USB as backups, which isn't a bad idea).
