MiniBank storage solution
Miglia has begun shipping the MiniBank hard drive, available in 320GB or 500GB configurations. The drive is similar in size to an AirPort Extreme N Base Station, fitting neatly under the base station (as an AirDisk) or Mac mini if desired. Both units utilize 7200 RPM hard drives and include three FireWire ports and and 3 USB 2.0 ports. They also feature quiet, fanless operation, are stackable (with the AirPort Base station and Mac mini, as well as themselves) and come with 2-year warranties. The 500GB unit is priced at £144.00 or just under $300, and the 320GB unit is priced at £101.00 or just over $200.
I like Miglia products

but the price is always a premium. Would love to see a RAID version that serves iTunes media.

until i saw the pricing_
$300 for a 500Gb HD - that's not a deal when I bought my last seagate for $130 [500GB]
Granted this has 1 more FW port than mine does - but for $170 more to add in an extra FW port and have it shaped as a Mac casing look-a-like object - no thanks_
On a lighter note - it is good to see some companies still pushing FireWire when most everyone else is going dry_

Why can't they make these drives in white so they match the airport extreme?!
