The HDZ-UE1.6TS doesn't support RAID. It is simply for adding 1.6TB of storage via your USB2 or firewire connection. The drive contains four 400GB Maxtor HDDs which are recognised as a single drive. Support interfaces are USB2.0 and IEEE1394. Price out a good case with decent mobo/processor/etc and the 4 400GB HDs and you'll be well below the $1500 mark.
Hmm... $2900 for 1.6TB of storage? And no ethernet? Why not just build your own NAS unit that has the same amount of storage, includes ethernet, and would cost you about $1200-$1400? You could even put it in a fancy case for that price.
There were no plans, but soon after HL2 came out (and before the SDK was available) there was already a MOD supporting DM available. So, if it's that easy to support, why not just make that support official?
