    we have one at my work. its usb and firewire. it works really well, you just format it, and set it as a another volume. we use ours for backup. it was about 1200 bucks, but its a lot cheaper than the 900 gb raid array we bought.

    My thoughts on it? 1 terabyte? Thoughts?

    /me 's brain explodes
    Seriously, though. You are one lucky sonuvabitch. If that thing didn't cost as much as my computer, I'd get it. That puppy could hold more storage than every harddrive in this house 3 times over. Lucky bastard. What kind of transfer rates do you get? :)

    If I ever decide to go on a killing spree and steal peoples' stuff, remind me to stop at your place first :D;D

    Nice piece of equipment you got there, gibbonsl. And I mean that in a totally straight and PC-oriented way.
