It works great, but I have noticed, I seldom use it. That being said, it was only $40 for the dual docking station, so no biggie. However $580 for diskless network box with storage potential, but no actual storage?? What am I missing or is it as ridiculously overpriced as it seems?

It's on par of the prices with other devices with the same features.

As you said, it cost about the same as a PC with 4 drive bays... since that's what it is I think the price is pretty much in line... it cost less than a Drobo which is basically the same thing.

No I don't think it is over priced... although I would like to see it cost less.

You want over priced, check THIS out.
