    Why even release something with such a catastrophic flaw?

    I have no idea.......
    The Hard disk compatibility list wasn't up to date either so I had to but a 2tb WD red disk instead of the 3tb only to find a pdf that was the updated compatibility...I'm not a happy bunny

    Lower power, less fan noise and smaller units.

    Ie better in almost all ways.

    As per abaxas' reasoning, they're great. Also, purpose-built low spec PCs don't come with an OS, and the unix solutions can be a real pain in the neck... impossible for average Joe.

    Besides, at £150~ for a 2-bay, no homebuild is going be appreciably cheaper.

    I'd hold off buying one if I were anyone considering...I'm going to return mine as faulty (sadly)

    Yeah, I should have added "Excluding those with catastrophic flaws"
