Small and quiet which would allow you to position it anywhere in the house. I wouldn’t have a problem positioning it in the kitchen or TV room.Gogglerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00962386425676168008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603949395972545569.post-40970225288742387822009-01-08T00:25:59.981-05:002009-01-08T00:25:59.981-05:00@old_shepherdian - I think you are getting your model numbers confused. The EX470/475 are the old models, the EX485/487 are the new models. I'm simply pointing out that with the new models (which have the same software) you are paying $150 for a 750GB drive.<BR/><BR/>You are correct in that some of the software that ships on the newer models can be back ported to the older models.

Its a no brainer then.old_shepherdianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15530257705398112920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603949395972545569.post-52709011087018064612009-01-06T10:07:48.229-05:002009-01-06T10:07:48.229-05:00Chris, John and I were just talking about this with Dave on the Home Server Show (#28) the other day. With the quickly falling HD prices, I'm sure HP will have to adjust their pricing. I rather see them put out a 1.5TB (2x750) and a 3 TB (2x1.5TB) at the current price point. Just my thoughts.Jimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00445752209015706374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603949395972545569.post-66472438990831207582009-01-05T13:13:39.740-05:002009-01-05T13:13:39.740-05:00Reading the article i will choose the EX485, that HD is too expensive! :)aantiguahttp://openid.bsdlatino.org/arielnoreply@blogger.com
