Instead of 2TB, 2GB ram, I received a cheaper model 500GB, 1GB ram. Ritz Camera was selling both versions on Amazon. They will not honor their commitment to sell me what I paid for. I offered to wait until it came in stock, I asked if I could have a rain check, they said no to both. They gave me a refund. I won't buy from them again. Update: Today 7/26 Ritz Camera called me to tell me that the 2 TB Server was back in stock. They told me I could now re-order it. I explained that the price has gone up by $195. I also found it for much less money on the web. I asked if they would honor the original price, she said no. Here is the great part of this: she asked me to remove my negative comments from Amazon, as I no longer wanted the item! I told her if they honored the original price I would be happy to make the purchase. She said she would check on that. Two days later... still not heard from Ritz Camera. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Great quality, easy to setup, a lot of good features By JMU 1998 I got my TS Mini (2TB) about a week ago from AMAZON ([...]) and it was for $[...] with free shipping and got it in 3 days. The outer box said it was 500GB so I got concerned but when I opened it the product box itself said 2TB. I physically opened the server and yes I did indeed see two seagate drives each 1TB. When I booted it up it showed 1TB and also 2GB of memory. Not sure why some other people got the wrong one. So far I am very happy with its performance as expected from an ASUS product. I own several ASUS products including motherboards, Video cards and related computer equipment. PROS: 1). Easy to setup - was a breeze to have it "seen" by my other computers on my home network as well as PS3 2). The quality of construction is also good 3). Super quiet can hardly hear it even with my ears up against it 4). Runs surprisingly cool I can barely feel any heat around it the fans run super quiet 5). User friendly interface for management 6). Lots of USB ports and an eSATA port to expand 7). Gigabit port 8). Very low power consumption 9). Tons of great features CONS: 1). 32-bit Architecture. I wish this was a 64-bit Architecture but for my needs to store and stream data I can live with 32-bit 2). Some of the "advanced" settings are not very clearly indicated/mentioned in the documentation but I was able to get around it by googling some of the info and setting it up that way. I really wish they had provided some instructions how to take full advantage of some of the neat features...they left it for the user to "discover" Over all a 5 STAR but for the Lack of good documentation/instructions on some advanced features I give it a 4. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Yes! 2TB By Nelson Lora This is the version that comes with 2 hard drives of 1TB each one, and 2GB of RAM. The unit feels solid, looks good, and makes no sound at all. It comes with a power cord similar to the used by the laptops, so the power supply is external reducing by this way the heat inside the server. The installation is very simple, you only have to follow the quick installation guide. It doesn't have input for a monitor, which means that the installation is done through your network with the supplied DVD placed on a connected computer. Since it comes with 2 hard drives, your data by default is protected through redundancy (by default folder duplication on different drives is enabled at the Windows Home Server). The ATOM N280 processor that comes with the unit is a little bit faster than the one used at the HP Home Servers and more energy efficient, however it only supports 32 bits and not 64 like HP does. 2 eSATA ports make external expansion very convenient because you will get the benefit of a transfer rate above 3 GB/s. So far, very satisfied. See
