"The G-Force MegaDisk provides up to 1.5 terabytes of capacity - the first drive solution in its class to reach the 1.5 TB benchmark -- in an affordable, high-performance external hard disk drive featuring the latest SATA drive technology and high-speed Firewire 800, Firewire 400 and USB 2.0 external interfaces. The Fantom brand's latest innovation in external drives is 25 percent smaller while simultaneously providing 50 percent higher capacity than competitive products."

It may be the server admin geek in me, but RAID0 makes me nervous. Very nervous. I can't find any information about whether or not other RAID levels are supported, which is a pity. I wouldn't recommend using this as primary storage for anything you couldn't afford to lose, unless you had a second copy of it somewhere.
