    Excellent Jim.

    I have a demo of the Western Digital’s DX4000 and I can see right off, that the LaCie box has a VGA port, 5 drive bays instead of 4, and it supports multiple drives. Western Digital will only support their own Enterprise 2TB & 3TB drives.

    Please let me know if it handles a server backup. Due to the 2TB VHD backup limit of SS2008R2E, WD’s DX4000 disables the server backup function, is this the same with LaCie ?

      John this is using the same OS as the WD, so I expect the same type of issue will pertain. However, I plan on testing ISCSI nas-nas backup to a QNAP that I have around and will do a post on that. Please keep an eye out for that post.

      John, confirming that this 2TB limit pertains to this product. If you install all of these drives in one RAID, you will have to find other backup solutions. Otherwise, this is a stellar product and I recommend it.
