Anyone use one or have any experience? I need to buy a matching set of new drives for backup and storage of files. These are $259.99 at newegg.

I've got one. It's ok. Doesn't appear to have a power switch and sometimes it refuses to mount so I have to pull the power cord and plug it back in. Other than that, it's been reliable for the few weeks I've had it. I'm using it for backups of one of my machines at work.

I use a 250mb My Book and it works flawlessly. Mounts on all startups and the on/off switch is right on the front of the unit. Geat purchase for me.
