You may want to consider comparing it to a Drobo (www.drobostore.com).

FWIW: I just found this:

Data Robotics Charging for Drobo Firmware Updates http://www.zatznotfunny.com/2009-02/data-robotics-charging-for-drobo-firmware-updates/

"This is the first time in my 25+ years in computing that a hardware manufacturer has informed me that it wants to charge me for a firmware upgrade. I innocently checked my Drobo for firmware updates yesterday and was startled to receive the message above."

(more interesting info on the page)
