My WD My Book Live does basically the same thing but with the cool little piggyback card running a full Linux disto. Unfortunately they went with 32bit PowerPC and it is no longer supported by Debian so no more upgrades unless I bust out a soldering iron and mess with u-boot to get something like netbsd on it. Seems like a good product for the super cheap arm SoC makers, a board that attaches to the back of a hard drive with Ethernet just like WD did but without the big clunky case.
