It's priced similarly ($210 retail for 500GB; less at NewEgg). But the LaCie has extras, gigabit ethernet and a 2nd USB port for host mode. So not only will this give you 500GB of storage, but it'll NASify your existing USB disks too. Yeah, and that port supposedly works with multiple drives when connected to a hub... Just don't be tempted by the RAID version; it's just an intel rebadge and it has software raid and as a result maxes out at ~3MB/sec for RAID1. Too bad.

Sweet, that's just what I could use for all these extra hard drives I have laying around. Anyone else had any luck with these things? (http://www.freshdailygadget.com) $60 for a drive-less model!
