Any comment?

Thanks.

Hmm, interesting, no, not yet anyways.

But I've been expecting something along these lines, two of these or so might be in my future for an external backup

I don't know where this reviewer has been hanging out though the RE3's have had dual processors awhile now :)

edit *I just threw that review up there because it looked interesting I'm not even that familiar with the site BTW. Like I said before the reviewer seemed a bit clueless on some things :) *

Waiting for this site to do a review on it as their reviews are much better. See their review of RE3 and RE2-GP

I am still a little scared of the >1 TB disks. Seagate's infamous failures have pretty much put the kebash on ultra high density disks right now. (I know brand loyalty if for noobs, but I only buy WD)

If this one pans out for the most part, I am just w00t.

I'm seriously considering getting 6 of them for my RAID5 array. I've always used Seagate drives and had no real problems with them. With what happened recently with the Seagate drives has me a little shy of buying again. Besides, Seagate doesn't have 2TB drive out.

I'm just a WD fanboy to begin with I guess, have had Seagate drives with short lives in my past and a few others :)

I avoid using em myself I guess.

Personal preference I suppose.
