WD MyBook Live, can you get something better for a few $$ more?

Hi,

I'm looking for a NAS device for our home network (3 PCs, iPads, iPhones, Tivo). I'd like it to be reasonable in price (<$200 without counting disks). The WD MyBook Live for $140 with 2TB seems like a steal for the performance it can offer. Power consumption is also an important factor for me, something that uses >10W when idle is not good.

The only I'm missing from the WD is changeable drives, potentially 2 docks.

Is there anything that can achieve this for $200 without disks with the performance & power savings of the WD MyBook live?

Thanks,
Alex

I suggest the Synology DS211J dual-drive, or their cheaper yet single drive products.
