Thanks for the clarification. So I stand corrected that there are close alternatives to an ID40, but my understanding from other threads is that these are modified systems that are beyond my KISS needs.

Edit: I want to make sure that I am not giving Seeker wrong information.

1. My experience and what I understood from M in Bristol is that Sooloos SQ without an ID40 or MS600 will not equal an M spinner SQ. Does anyone disagree with that statement?

2. Therefore my opinion is that a Sooloos without the extra M box is a poor ROI.

3. My opinion is that there are server solutions available that are very inexpensive that provide SQ close to Sooloos that provide terrific ROI as long as one can accept SQ less than an M spinner. The decision as I understand it, comes down more to OS.

4. My opinion, that I think is pretty well a consensus, is that the Sooloos with an ID40 or MS600 is as good or better SQ than an M spinner. My understanding is that this is at the present the top of the server SQ available.

5. I do not have the level of sophistication to say if there are less expensive alternatives to Sooloos with ID40 or MS600 that come close in SQ. I hope in time to learn more about this as I am not thrilled with being stuck with Sooloos storage.

I hope that clarifies and I am on more solid ground.

Aloha,
