Where can I get it?
Any idea where I could get one of these? Can't find anywhere on the web with it!

WD4000
Atom D525 1.79Ghz far too slow + 2GB RAM not enough.
Basically good quality product spoiled by low spec hardware + little RAID chip.
ISCSI mind-numblingly slow.
Sorry, WDC need to go back to drawing board & up the spec. Then it will be a good product.
