I picked up one and a drive as well to hang off it.   So far I am
happily impressed.  The whole thing is pretty slick.  I have the drive
and a printer hooked off a usb hub.  The management utility is a nice
update from the old client too.  I've been streaming itunes music and
video too my imac off the thing with no problems.
