It is noisiest when the unit "wakes up" and drives spin up. Otherwise, it's the usual drone sound. I have power management set up to spin the drives down after 5 min. inactivity. Anyhow, it's in the closet with our router and modem so we can't barely hear it. 2. AFAIK, SATA drives are supposed to be hot-pluggable. However, DLink recommends <a href="http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=2797&question=DNS-323" title="DLink FAQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">powering down</a> after a hard drive failure in RAID 1 mode. Of course, a disk failure in RAID 0 mode is catastrophic. 3. 2x1TB drive @ $150/ea = $300. Enclosure = $139. With taxes = $491.65 4. The DNS-323 has been around long before Terabyte drives came around. I don't know of any maximum size. I don't foresee problems supporting upcoming 1.5TB drives. With drives becoming larger and larger, the impact of drive failure becomes greater and greater. Look for NAS enclosures that support RAID 1 to become increasingly more popular. For the money, the DNS-323 is pretty tough to beat. @neil:

1. how noisy is the setup?
2. are the drives hot-swappable?
3. how much did this setup cost?
4. what is the maximum size of drive that the unit can handle?
