Link to eBay auction? My search doesn't find any for Legend Micro. Shouldn't have any issues getting Bing from Buy.com either btw.
Just ebay search for SS4200 and you'll find it.

Not sure. It's a Buy.com third party seller so I'm not sure that it qualifies for Bing cash back (i.e. Buy.com is selling for Legend Micro).
Also, as Gillbot suggested, search for the NAS model number and then look under Buy it Now. Make sure to go through the Bing eBay 10% link first and check out with PayPal.
Here is one of the auctions...(assuming link works - but remember to go through cash back links for Bing and not just use my link).

B) The SS4200E BIOS doesn't appear to have the Intel RAID BIOS included - it allows setting the SATA drives as "RAID" but there's no sign of the BIOS utility to create the RAID sets. (I only had a single SATA drive in mine when I tried this though.)
Summary
Purchased 4 x 1.5TB Seagate 7200.11 drives and SSH4200-EHW
SSH4200 users are using RAID5 successfully with 4 x 2TB drives
Latest EMC software supports RAID5, RAID10 and Windows Domain network access?
-- includes Domain Access Privileges (SBS 2008)??
If using WHS there is NO support for RAID
Read articles that running Software Raid from Intel mobo can be very CPU intensive, and
running RAID5 with > 1TB drives is very unstable (possibility of error writes is vary large).
Suggest RAID 10 by many? What about SSH4200? Reliable? Recovery is simple?
Will a Intel Pentium E5200 help? And RAM? Any one has done it?
Any findings, opinions or suggestions are welcome!
Thanks,
Without video, you just plug in your flash drive, hold in reset button and press power. Then wait with your fingers crossed and see if your hard work pays off. I have not been able to get it to work yet.
I bought on last week and I am trying to install WHS on it, but I am having trouble getting it right. Without video, you just plug in your flash drive, hold in reset button and press power.

I have a license for WHS. Would it be wrong for someone, who got it to work, be able to distribute an image of their usb drive with the cd key removed? I could just image my usb drive, add my license key and install WHS on my server. I am so frustrated with it at this point, I am pulling my hair out!

I am looking for a pci-e riser, but that would set me back at least a week until I can get one.
This would be nice and I don't understand why it hasn't happened.I bought on last week and I am trying to install WHS on it, but I am having trouble getting it right.

Do you guys access WHS thru some sort of remote admin w/o gfx on this unit?
I'm just wondering why you guys are replacing the EMC linux software with the WHS? Does that allow you to do something that you could with the EMC software? Isn't this just a NAS drive?
I did buy one from Newegg and then I purchased one from LegendMicro. I'll be returning the Newegg one back.
