i hadn't heard about this before. what a bunch of maroons. i can't believe they thought this was going to fly.
Their enclosures are dogshit too. You can roll your own for like half the price if you have spare components laying around or a decent local computer thrift store. It'll be like 10x better to because you can put actual real NAS software on there, or just run a virtualization server.
Only benefit for these style appliances is that they usually come with 2.5Gig + network adapters, but a smaller ATX build could just get a PCIE card that does 10 and that benefit is gone.
USB3.0 can do a 2.5g eth card pretty easily.
Always feel dirty using USB for stuff that isn't basic I/O lol. Plus if I'm building my own I'll probably wanna go 10 gig because why not
