I can provide some input now that I have mine up and running. It's a solid
little product, as best I can tell. I set up a script file to copy a ~100K
file every thirty seconds before I turned in one night; by next morning I
calculate it had moved roughly 80 MB of data with not a single error. The
throughput isn't bad either; I clocked mine at better than 35K bytes per
second.
I am running a 3650 configured as 4 10 meg partitions, and I'm happy with
it at this point. I had some problems getting everything set up, but this
was due mostly to the fact that I wasn't given all the distribution files
(not the fault of the manufacturer, and no blame placed with anyone; I knew
this to be the case when I made the arrangements). And, of course, there
was the ever-present issue of hanging more than one device on the CPU buss,
but that's no one's fault as well. At any rate, it's real, it works, and
it works well.
