HP has an up to 50% off right now on Notebook accessories. Somehow this MediaVault NAS with 1TB (500GB Raid Mirror) and it’s brother at 1.5TB is considered a laptop accessory. I was looking at this when it was about $400…So just picked it up at $300 retail less an additional $150 by mail. This is what I got to retire some smaller network and usb drives in the house: ![http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF30b/A10-51210-424091-424093-424091-3704624-3704625-3704627.html](http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF30b/A10-51210-424091-424093-424091-3704624-3704625-3704627.html) ![http://image1.cc-inc.com/prod/7418000/7418099_lg/HP-Media%20Vault%20Pro%20mv5140%20%E2%80%93%201TB-NAS%20%28Network%20Attached%20Storage%29.jpg](http://image1.cc-inc.com/prod/7418000/7418099_lg/HP-Media%20Vault%20Pro%20mv5140%20%E2%80%93%201TB-NAS%20%28Network%20Attached%20Storage%29.jpg) [http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06c/A10-51210-424091-424093-424091-3704624-3704625-3704627.html](http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06c/A10-51210-424091-424093-424091-3704624-3704625-3704627.html) Link to Rebate Form: > **[15808.pdf](https://service1.pcconnection.com/RebateCenter/15808.pdf)** > > 296.05 KB ---

Did you buy direct from HP? It is showing a $350 price, where did you get it for $300? And this is actually 500GB mirrored right (2x500GB drives)? Not 1TB? ---

**you have an option you can go 1TB no raid, or 500GB with Raid 1**. I’m sticking with the raid…and it is really 460GB usable. There is a larger unit with 2x 750GB drives Anyway: Remote Web Access Media Streaming iTunes Aggregation Automated Full HD backups of laptops on the network… yes all in all i think its a great deal. Plus there is tons of material on the web about hacking this unit…overclocking and such. I didn’t buy from HP direct. You dohave to buy from an authorized HP dealer though. I got mine from Erie Computer on line for $299. Mailing in the rebate form today. I bought it here, looks like they jacked up the price $5: [http://www.costcentral.com/proddetail/HP\_MV5140\_1TB\_MEDIA\_VAULT\_PRO/GX667AAABA/R82477/](http://www.costcentral.com/proddetail/HP_MV5140_1TB_MEDIA_VAULT_PRO/GX667AAABA/R82477/) ---

The link for HP was for specs. Erie has been posted above. Or just google for the best price. It’s not rocket science. ---

Not a epic deal… But very nice after the rebate comes in. I could use some NAS mirrored storage… Hrm, wonder if this thing can do any decent speeds? ---

Yeah it’s a decent unit. I like it. Speed seems much better than my last NAS. No brainer Mirror and the NTI backup software are a plus. Some small quirks, but overall a good device. Check the wiki online for more info and hacks. ---

How long did it take you to get yours from Erie Computer? That’s where i ordered mine. Where did it ship out of? PA? I’m hoping it’ll get here for the weekend! This will be my first NAS. I was going to get a regular external USB/Firewire/e-SATA drive to back up data, but this deal popped up. Hopefully with this I can provide web access to my files. When 1 TB (or 1.5TB if supported) drives get cheaper i’ll pop a pair of those in this and still have a decent amount of space. ---

Mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow (Friday). it’s only shipping from PA so it only took 2 days to get here. Right now i’m using an older refurb 250GB SATA drive to backup data.

Got my unit all set up except for internet sharing. I have my personal web address set up, have port forwarding set up in my router (D-Link Di-624), the NAS is getting an IP from DHCP but noone can connect to the NAS from a web browser over the internet. I have Verizon DSL, and my IP seems to change frequently. Would that cause things to go screwy? Does the NAS need a static IP?
