Officeworks has these on clearance from $299 (if I recall correctly) to $209. Not listed on the website but see attached receipt. Cheapest price I could find online was $242.99 plus postage.
The USB 2.0 port is a let down, but not really an issue for me as the network interface at 10/100/1000 gives me a better result with my Cat 6 cabling if you are wanting to network it properly. Noticably, its silent which has not been the case with our other external hard disks.
The software interface is a little cumbersome to use (but works fine), this being my first experience with NAS drives in our office I am not sure if other manufacturers have better options.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the supplied network cable is cat 5, so you need to supply your own if you are runing cat 6. A bit of a let down but for a cheapie drive maybe that is not unreasonable…

Thread doesn't look promising in terms of speeds. What do you get out of it ? I guess you can't expect too much for a budget NAS.
CNET seems a little confused. Subtitle says " has sub-par remote access performance." the the pros mention " Very fast performance"
