I looked at bringing a US version in but found out that the (110V only) psu
is inbuilt to the case - and the case fairly well sealed so I didn=92t.  It
ships in the UK in the next couple of weeks and that pricing seems about
right. I intend to get one then, mainly for use as a music server. Delay in
UK launch was caused by psu redesign.  I believe as well as using the USB2
for connection to a PC you can daisychain more drives but will confirm when
I try it.
