Where were you last month? Or maybe it was January when they came out? $400 from the Dell site.

Greetings!

Indeed!!! They are nice, and they have been out for a month or so as a Dell upgrade. Back then, they were $400 after Dell's discount.

Possible warning: I have noticed slight weirdness with them. With hijack running, I have seen lockups trying to sync. The sync locks up while trying to remount read/write. I have not pursued too much because a) I am the only one who seems to have this problem and b) swapping to the regular kernal works fine. Hopefully, when the button kits come out, I will send the entire unit(s) off to Mark Lord and ask him to play with the drives a bit, to see if he can reproduce the problem.

Hehe, figures I'd be behind the curve a bit... Too busy with work to spend much time keeping up.
