Fully hot-swappable disk mechanisms allow for up to eight SATA drives with extended modules, and the device ships with a three-year manufacturers warranty. The tNASi RAID 5 NAS/SAN Tower with four SATA drives and Gigabit Ethernet is available from $1,550 to $3,250, with extended modules optionally adding 4x SATA functionality with a SATA II host controller ($320) or dual Gigabit Ethernet ports ($400).
