Maybe I would buy it. But it doesn't really fit my need. To me, the most important feature is the concept  "dropbox-like one big space".

The device really make me think about what is missing with current RAID+NAS products.

1. size is not scalable
2. buying one more device means one more location, or dropping the old one to garbage...
3. home-use level product doesn't really protect data, but make it more difficult to get data back when something happen...

I need a device that could help me build a "private dropbox", which has:

1. (distributed, P2P) multiple device, each has multiple harddisk
2. dropbox-like one big space, one see all the file even if the file doesn't exist on nearest device.
3. RAID-like data protection/backup, remote backup
4. automatically sync each other
5. file version control

(other feature could be added, but not really important)
