Netgear Storage Central Turbo Enclosure - SC101TNA
Netgear SC101T Storage Central Turbo Enclosure - Network Storage Enclosure - 2 x 3.5" - 1/3H Internal

This is a follow on product to the original SC101. The SC101 has proven to be highly unstable in the 18 months that it has been on the market. Netgear has never fixed many of the SC101's problems and has exhibited poor customer support. Read the user forum for the SC101 and you will see that there are a lot of very unhappy owners. There is also a huge second hand market for these turkeys which should tell you how happy people are with it. So why would you buy the SC101T which uses the same flawed design as the SC101? List of SC101 faults. 1. Mirroring too unstable to be used 2. Can't rebuild broken mirror 3. This device is slow and mirroring makes it even slower 4. SC101 firmware upgrades can cause loss of data on it 5. Sporatic loss of partitions sometimes recoverable and sometimes not. 6. Not compatible with some 3rd party software 7. May need to reboot all network devices at times 8. May need to remove and reinstall the drivers at times 8. Proprietary device driver may cause your computer to hang 9. Disks overheat The SC101T should fix the heat problem because it has a fan. The SC101T should fix the speed problem but only if you are using it with 1Gbit ethernet exclusively. But it remains to be seen if it is any more stable than the SC101.
