Bought an Infrant ReadyNAS NV with my bonus. Time to load it with some Seagate 7200.10 320GB drives.

How much was that?

Let me get this straight, you can plug in your camera or a CF reader directly into that thing and transfer the data?

Sure, but that's kind of a silly use for it. I'm using it to weekly backup 3 desktops + 1 laptop + my website and databases. I will also store my photos/music/videos on it.

lol since when is $650USD = $900CDN? The exchage rate is 1.10 CAD = 1.00 USD

It sells for $650 in the States and $900 in Canada.

Only a complete moron would buy it in Canada then.

So basically this dosen't need an OS, just basically connected into a router?

Well, it's running Linux, but yeah you just plug it into a router/switch/hub and it's accessible from any computer on your network. Plus you can forward ports and use it's FTP server from anywhere external.

He tried that, and he was a complete failure at that as well.

Ah i see. It's nice that it's truly hot swappable.
Plus with all the photos you take, it's a worth while investment.
For me, it would be nice, but it'd just be overkill.
