[Wolves] Wireless nas box maybe

[Peter Evans]

Uhm, could be my age and length of time away from the IT coal face...

But - it says it's 1.2, fitted with the two 640GB drives, so in the  
long-time tradition of advertising unformatted disk sizes this is  
correct.

Plus it does mirrored disks (RAID 1), so yes it can survive a disk  
failure (albeit with the RAID then being 'broken') out of the box.

According to the specs tab It can fit a total of four disks and does  
RAID 5, so it can even survive a single disk failure and keep chugging  
along.

Agree it's a nice looking box, not a bad price, shame it's only SATA  
I,  though I wonder if it'd be much of a real performance bottleneck  
given it's target market.
