Cool Video, but were exactly does it put the data in the saved state??

I mean you have 4 hard drives full of data, pull 3 of them and install 3 blank drives and it restores all that data? More like a well crafted video.

sounds fishy to me.

$500, he wont sell many, it is usb 2.0 only.

Message Edited by mombodog on 06-29-2007 08:39 PM I agree with you, they won't sell too many... and I have no idea where.... I would guess on the other drives it will store parity (parities) I say this because in the screen shots the total amount of data stored shows less than the total capacity of drives combined... so that is the only explanations my mind gives.
