great thread!

I skimmed the pages thus far and did not notice this new release from HP... its run on a flavor of linux and looks to be a decent alternative to WHS.

Any thoughts on this as a decent NAS solution? I was thinking of ripping the 500gb HD out and replaceing w/ two 1tb drives mirrored.

It's apparently shipping tomorrow, according to Amazon, for $299.99 so reviews should pop up pretty fast (if they aren't already written).

I liked the Media Smart form factor (4x drives instead of the two of the Media Vault), but I'm gunshy about anything having to do with Windows Home Server.

Like King Nothing said, the DNS-323 is cheaper (unless you plan on using the 500GB drive somewhere else).

Since it runs on Linux, there should be people mucking around with it pretty quick, so we'll have an idea of what can be done with it.

The thought was to take the 500gb drive and toss it in a USB enclosure and direct connect it to the HP as a 3rd line of defense backup solution for critial files. The other backup solution involves offsite storage. Ive looked at the Dlink unit and that is still an option for me. Thanks for the input.
