Thanks for the response. The only other question was is related to how much time should I count on being without the NAS? If a short time, one or two days, I have one solution for the data, If the time is longer then I will have a different solution for the data during the outage...

Great to see you back PromiseNasDude, Glad you are getting back to 100%. Just a question relative to the application of the Firmware upgrades that are required. 1. Upgrade prior to sending unit in? Will I be without the NAS for a period of time and if so how long? 2. All Firmware...

Sorry to hear that. Please stay off till you are better. Remember that the long term in the road to watch. Chuck

I hope that PromiseNasDude has been on vacation or is awaiting some firm information to respond to your good questions. He has been a welcome breath of fresh air in support and communication with Promise. I too am anxious to hear when and how we will know the revised, quieter, models...

I just installed a Promise NS4000N and so far so good. Easy installation on my iMac and PC side of the office. Did not use packaged software as habit is to always get latest from the support sites. I set up the iTumes server and FTP. Wonder if anyone has seen a TIVO server for the...

Sorry that I am not as up to speed with the main group here but wanted to add the following relative to the PROMISE NS4300N. Just purchased at Fry's on sale for $299.99 and set up a 2T mirrored array with no problem (New WD Green 1TB drives). No problems at this point other than the noted fan...
