hello

i found this one interesting:

http://www.amazon.com/LaCie-Ethernet-External-Drive-300963/dp/B000BKJ5Z0

1TB for about 650USD (about 400USD second hand)

is still a bit expensive, but may be it works. I don't know if coraid
has something like it (i think the 1U appliance was about 2kUSD). I'm
would love something like that too, i lost three hard drives on my
last move, including the 9grid.es one :(.

slds.
