That's not a NAS. That's a toy.

You do realize that you can buy a Proliant G5 w/6 146GB SAS drives w/a
real RAID controller (like, do RAID 0+1, with extra hot standby drives,
etc.) for about 400 bucks on eBay, right?

I mean, why pay 200 bucks for a toy when you can have the real thing for
400 w/free shipping that has 8 cores and 8 or 12GB RAM?

I see people all over the place using SuperMicros and depending on one
measly power supply and a fake RAID controller and wonder that everyday.

It may not have the TBs you want but for that price you could do a RAID
1 w/a hot failover for your OS and then buy three SAS drives of any size
you want from NewEgg.

Just thought I'd mention that because I run a 100% Proliant network in
my datacenter based on this strategy.

You can do the same thing with PowerEdge boxes too if you prefer Dells.

Just thougt I'd mention that.
