I like it. But I want it to be more. I want more connection options. And I don't like how adding a large drive to a stack of similar small drives gives you no addition space until another large drive is added. But I guess if you upgrade in pairs you should be OK. It is really cool.

I understand why its that way. It's just that if you only watched the demo you wouldn't think that. You have to play with the drobolator to see it.

Firewire 400 is 400mbit/sec
USB 2.0 is 480 mbit/sec
I doubt they would use the 1394b for the 800mbit/sec as it would not be backwards compatible with 1394a
+1 for a gigabit interface, and yes, I am getting one.
