Has anyone had any personal experience with or seen any review of this device?
http://www.tomshardware.com/storage/20031128/index.html for a primer
and
http://store.syncraid.com/ for the actual device which appears to be sold out at the moment (assuming that its not just not shipping yet)
Thanks for any and all info. This sounds like an awesome setup and I would really like to replace my 2 x 40 Raid 1 with a 3 or 5x180 setup (3x180x66% to take out the overhead=356Gbytes +/- or 5x180x80%=720Gbyte(!?!) <-Maybe I don't really need that much ;)

ps oops. I guess one drive is dedicated to parity(?), so... 3x180=360 and 5x180=720 (still). I'm not entirely sure about this either. I thought it wrote stripped data including XOR parity to all drives...hmmm
