Re: Argosy HD-363N -- UPDATE

Wow.  Silly me for assuming the device you vaguely referred to was the same
device that got all the press from them at CES a month ago.

And if I was yelling, I would have used CAPS.

The RAID 5 conversation started when I mentioned this device, which is NAS
just like what you are talking about but in a different class.  Maybe some
of us want media servers that can hold not just music, but DVDs, vidcaps of
TV shows, pictures, and CD images of games.  And with that much data RAID 5
is a necessity in my book.
