We put one in last June. We use Flashcopy on a regular basis on it for doing backups. We don't perform a lot of simultaneous flashcopies so haven't noticed any slowdown because of it. The GUI (storage manager) used for configuring the box is slow (haven't seen a java app yet that isn't..) It's been reliable, small, relatively inexpensive, and substantially faster than the RVA it replaced. Overall we like it. My only caveat is to make sure it has current firmware on it before the CE walks out the door.
