BUT those are just words.
let's put it in this way: it's absolutely fantastic. it has all the space you need (if you're not running a router) Even if less capable than his bigger brother (the 1.5tera one) its speed's amazingly high and his affidability has been proved (however, remember to check for updates in <u>the firmware </u>from time to time. do backups, kids.
