    Neat gadget just remember it has no actual disk inside! You have to supply your own hard drive. I expect these LAN adaptors to come down in price then a thing like this would be a handy way of re-using an old hard drive.
    Also remember that in order to work, it needs to be plugged in via USB to a powered up computer then it seems to piggy back on the LAN connection of the 'host' PC (I'm confused actually - and details are scarce in the prod description).

    I suggest give us an update on the value of such a gadget if & when you have seen one in operation.

    Oh, and the 500G Maxtor - I suggest see reviews at http://www.ciao.co.uk/Reviews/Maxtor_Basics_Personal_Storage_3200_500_GB__6483549 first.
    Some of the glowing ones look suspiciously like promoters' spam cut'n'pastes.
