When you got to back-up, you gotta back-up. And ASUS has just trotted out a product to help do just that: the TS Mini Network Attached Server (NAS).
Set-up in a tower profile, the TS Mini is chocked-full of back-up goodies any home owner might need (and perhaps a few more). It is powered by an Intel Atom N280 processor running at 1.66 Ghz. Can handle up to 2Gb of DDR2 800 memory. Has 2 3.5-inch drive bays, and comes configured with 500GB, 1TB, or 2TB of hard drive storage. Gigabyte ethernet, naturally. Six USB 2.0 ports. Two eSATA ports. And a bag of screws.
The TS Mini is capable of handling back-up chores for ten computers. It also can serve as a streaming media platform, sending content to multiple attached devices, including receiver boxes and game consoles.
Pre-orders are being taken, with prices starting at $349. And, like early Model T Fords, you can have any color you want so long as it is black.

I will stick with my Lenovo D400 IdeaCentre. All the same features and more. Up to 8TB of storage (4 hot swappable drives plus 2 internal drives), can access remotely and is smaller than a 9" cube. Comes with iTunes Server and One Key USB backup

Kinda wish it had at least 2 more HD drive bays. Otherwise, looks pretty cool.

I believe you mean it has "Gigabit ethernet" otherwise that is a sweet but excessive network card for a NAS of this calibre.
