Yes, this does 510 model does look like a stopgap measure until the 320 series is released, likely reacting to pressure from sandforce and marvel based drives.
The very preliminary 320 specs showed a big jump in random IOPS from the G2 series -- as we've seen sequential speeds aren't...
I've got the DNS-321 and it's been reliable and very low power with two 500GB green drives in RAID-1. However, transfer rates leave much to be desired... I get about 12MB/sec over my gigabit network.
My first HDD was a 20MB 3.5" RLL beast had a stepper motor driving a rack and pinion setup that moved the heads. Not so much a speed demon when you can watch each seek operation...
Prior to that I used sticks and pebbles to store my 1's and 0's. And I liked it. Hey you kids! Get off my lawn!
Spend a few minutes with a torx screwdriver and pull out the rare earth magnets. Those suckers are strong! By the time you're done cracking open the case and ripping the heads out you can be fairly confident that no one is going to ready those platters again.
Totally agree! Latest build is a cheap atom mobo + 3GB ram + 40GB Intel SSD. For basic web/email/office stuff it's just fine. 22 watts idle, leave it on 24/7.
