but I hear bad things about this hard drive. I have never own so I can say anything on my personal opinion.
anyone here ever own any lacie hard drive for at least 3 yrs? 3 yrs is the minimum manufacture warranty any good hd should have.

For a 500gb nas, that is an awesome price. I'd expect a raid in it though since it is a shared storage device.

That picture just looks like an external drive however, not a NAS....I don't see Ethernet ports as described in the specs.

cool find none-the-less. But, fwiw, I'd really be afraid of failure on a single disk NAS

I agree, but, anywhere I have a single disk, I do backups to a second drive / dvd / external drive regularly. I think it would be more of a PITA. Pesonally, I hang 500+gb drives off my tower and rip dvds or copies regularly since I don't have redundant disks.
