    Yea, that's their new version of it, which looks very awesome!

    Their previous version was just a wireless Hard Drive, but man did they upgrade the specs on it!

    edit: It's about $300 CDN, which is pricey, but wow, it can download/upload from FTP as well as BitTorrent WITH the computer off! I wish I could get my hands on one :p

    J - We've had those for a few months now..... Stock is always so low because they never brought in a lot of them, but I'm currently using one of them at my house...... all of the features it has - they work and it's an awefully nice unit.... especially the download manager which, like Coriolis said, downloads while your computer can even been off........ but that's like the least cool of the features. I actually upgraded mine from a 160gb to a 500 and it works just fine.

    Perfect for anyone who needs to leave a download on, and needs to take the laptop out! It's a great idea, and I'm surprised no one else has caught on.

    I wonder if it will also transfer music wirelessly from the router to otherparts of the house/apartment. Eg. Router in room, but transferring music to be played in the kitchen, etc. It's not clear in their description, but it looks like it can!!

    Justin, you put in a 500 GB IDE drive in that? Or does it support SATA drives? Is the OS running it Linux-based?
