Cool tech for protected storage that grows over time. Watch video, you will want one.

? Is it REALLY that FAST? I think there was editing involved. ;-)

I have a ready nas and love it. But it uses X-raid (flex raid). I wonder what this is using.

It appears to like Content addressed store like the EMC Centera storage platform.

Interesting, it's almost exactly like what WHS is doing.

Damn Ireally like this. I think I might get one just to test it out.

Is their anything out on the market like this? That you just pop in the drives?

I have a infrant ready nas. which has a lot more options and is network based. The only cool thing this has is that you add other disks and will give you more space based on the disks.

The ready nas, is limited by the smallest drive. If you are using flex, then you can replace the drive one by one to get the larger space. Hope that makes sense.
