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.
