That's a hell of a deal when you think of price per GB. Only $.21 per GB.

A good four drive NAS enclosure is $150-300. The rest is because it's new, WD branded, for teh noobs and because there are people that want the warrant and such that come with a prebuilt NAS, same as some people pay the premium to buy a prebuilt computer.

Or you could just buy 8 1TB drives for a fraction of the cost.

Do the other ones rival this in features? Isn't the Drobo $500 alone?

What are the other good NAS boxes?

There are some diskless enclosures on Newegg as well.

As for other good NAS units, I wouldn't know, I don't use them.
