The TeraStation Pro II Rackmount builds on the strong business foundation of the original TeraStation Pro II. It features drastically improved network performance and support for multiple RAID levels. Reliability and performance are keys for the TeraStation Pro II Rackmount. The TeraStation Pro II Rackmount offers business-class features, such as Microsoft Active Directory integration, DFS support, a heavy-duty power supply and cooling system, quick-swap SATA hard drives, and a status LCD. But best of all, as the name suggests, this TeraStation Pro II is rack mountable and therefore best suited for businesses and professional users who desire maximum reliability and robust features.

Bertie is connected to my gigabit switch and is accessed by 4 other computers, and it also hosts a file sharing site too. The drive sits in a Windows environment, and is very easy to connect up. After a 15 second boot process, you access the features of the drive through a browser. All the usual tools for network drives are there, plus some seriously useful user permissions, and trashcan tools. It has hot swappable drives too (I bought a spare just in case), but this sold beast I feel will never breakdown. It's not the quietest drive in the world, but this is a minor annoyance. The actual data transfer over the network is not as fast as directly attached storage, but the benefits of using a network far out weigh this. When I need...

...that are not a patch on the Terastation and would have needed much intervention and care within 12 months - touch wood - I have barely even looked at it and it still runs as if it were brand new out of the box.

...I'm an impulse buyer...If I sit and think about it long enough, I will talk myself out of stuff....I'm glad I didn't talk myself out of this. Yes, over £600 is a bit steep for an impulse buy...but it's worth every penny. It must be the easiest bit of hardware to set up that I've ever bought.
