    There is a bad link in the article:
    http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/storage/infant...">http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/storage/infant...
    File does not exist ...
    Any chance of getting the link fixed ?

    So since the RAID performance was so good, what was the setup for the RAID?

    ...s939 has DDR2? :-)

    RAM: 1GB Corsair XMS4400 DDR2 (2x512MB)

    What brand/model Raid 5 controller was used with the Seagate drives?

    could you imagine backing up that much data... oi...

    Did you put any memory into this thing or just use the basic 64MB for the OS?
    Curious if you didnt, if the performance throughput would increase from a larger memory?

    The ReadyNAS units come with a 256MB SO-DIMM module. However, transfer performance would be limited by the the NIC anyway.

    was journaling turned off? I've heard that has a big impact on performance

    Any chance they are planning on releasing an 8 part config?
    Read\write wasnt terribly impressive at 24MB\sec. That is hardly pushing the disks.
    But for what i need it for that is plenty. But the 4 disk limitation kind of turns me off.

    Doesn't look like they have plans for 8 drives - they seem more interested in downsizing and compacting. There is a lot of info in their forums. At first I was turned off by the 4 drive config but then I realized it would work since I could hotswap.
