    Hey Eugene

    Thanks very much for the comprehensive review. now that you've had it for a while, what do you think of its performance? Would you recommend it to a total stranger? lol Actually Carbon Computing is just down the road a piece from me. I'm in the market for an external drive 'cause I want some space for my music projects and I want to back up my imac so that I can upgrade (finally) to Leopard. I was thinking of Lacie, but this may appeal if you recommend...

    Cheers

    Glad you found it useful! I think I would recommend it, as long as you're ok
    with the fan. It's not a quiet drive by any means. There is a nice LaCie
    (2big Quadra) that has two removable drives that also looks good. I just
    couldn't find it to buy, but you may have more success than I.

    cheers

    Found this while searching for info on configuring an Elephant drive. (About to upgrade mine from 2x500G to 2x1T.) ) You probably know this, but RAID0 gives you no data protection to speak of - if either of those drives fails, all the data on them is history.

    Also? Your facebook connect code seems to be broken. I gor an error message saying you need to set your callback URL.
