I agree. It's kind of a poor relation, but for our purposes, it's much easier to use -- no iso's, no growisofs, just mkfs, mount & cp. :-) Actually, I'm a bit surprised at how many are available. I just took a quick look at CDW and found 21 different models available from as little as $75 to $850 (US).
