Squeezebox and Music Vault NAS

Any Squeezebox or Transporter users using the Music Vault NAS?

Looks like this NAS device is made specifically for use with the Slimserver based devices. I want something that I can use without my computer having to be on all the time and this would seem to fit the bill. What little I can find about this device seems like its pretty simple to set up and use. Would appreciate any thoughts from first hand users.

Any NAS will work without your computer being on so long as you have a network (a wireless router can be had for under $100). The Music Vault is double the price of a comparable NAS you could get at any Best Buy (Maxtor, Buffalo, etc). Also, I don't see what drives are in the unit or what the configuration is (i.e. is it RAID capable?). The real question seems to be whether the Squeezebox specific features are enough to entice you.

An interesting concept to be sure - I hope someone here has one and can report on it.
