Dude, you missed the point totally. Blinded by IT snobbery no doubt. A 1TB NAS at that price is going to be compromised on features for the price point. Did you not read the WHOLE article? Or take in the general point of this device? It's a NAS on the cheap with features taken out to maintain the quality of the core function. The person this is aimed at won't know what RAID is, won't care when they are told and WON'T pay the additional cost to have the function. Regardless of the safety it brings. Get over it.
