Full range of bays: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=1240&subid=1239

Rediculously expensive though..might as well just get the 1TB NAS for £139.99 tbh..

There way expensive for what they are

wiserommer · 24 Jul 2009 at 18:30

agreed, and whats more they are limited to FAT32 on most of them. Dang if only i could find a reliable cheap one.
