This is a bit of a niche product and I'm not sure how much stock they have, but this seems to be a great price for this product. StaticIce, NewEgg, and eBay all put this product around $1000 or higher.

Based on my research it likely contains a SanDisk X600 SSD (which I believe has a DRAM cache) and is apparently similar performance to a WD Blue SSD… so the SSD alone inside these drives would be valued at $400ish.

The on-board system supports PLEX, DLNA, and backing up of SD cards/USB drives.

Keep in mind this does appear to be somewhat EOL and there hasn't been a firmware update all year (but maybe that's just coz it's perfect already).

    WD will go the way of the dodo if they think this is the way to transition from spinning drives….

    Well - wireless, OTG backups, powerbank function, plex/DLNA/editing support, etc

    I guess it's geared at photogs?

    I agree though that $1000 for this would be outrageous

  If you are a fan of "DIY¨, with that money you can have a Samsung EVO 2TB + Raspberry PI + case = Have PLEX, DLNA, Backup system and beyond with a much better performance and read/write speed.
