 Yes! 2TB February 26, 2010

This is the version that comes with 2 hard drives of 1TB each one, and 2GB of RAM.
The unit feels solid, looks good, and makes no sound at all. It comes with a power cord similar to the used by the laptops, so the power supply is external reducing by this way the heat inside the server.
The installation is very simple, you only have to follow the quick installation guide. It doesn't have input for a monitor, which means that the installation is done through your network with the supplied DVD placed on a connected computer.
Since it comes with 2 hard drives, your data by default is protected through redundancy (by default folder duplication on different drives is enabled at the Windows Home Server).
The ATOM N280 processor that comes with the unit is a little bit faster than the one used at the HP Home Servers and more energy efficient, however it only supports 32 bits and not 64 like HP does.
2 eSATA ports make external expansion very convenient because you will get the benefit of a transfer rate above 3 GB/s.
So far, very satisfied.

I got the 2TB version (the seller was (...) for a great price and after a week I'm pretty happy with it. It's easy to set up and mostly "just works" right out of the box. It's small and quiet, works well as a fileserver, automatically backs up my machines, streams to the 360 and ps3, and according to kill-a-watt it only draws 25-30W. I was also able to set it up as a print server although I don't think that is "officially" supported and took some messing around with drivers.

Does everything a NAS/Media Server should do plus more. The remote web access is awesome, I can share family videos/photos by assigning User names & Passwords to individual members allowing family to get the latest and greatest video/photos the day I put them on the server. Using "Home Server" dynamic DNS I can host these files on as a static WWW server with a dynamic IP hosted on my DSL line. The user interface is easy to navigate and the server is easy to setup, all my media streams easily. This thing will back up to a removable secondary drive I keep in a safe quickly and easily. The ability to hook up streaming security camera's is a plus if I ever chose to do so. Not to mention the ability to access my music/photo's/videos on various networked electronics throughout the house is a definite plus. I highly recommend this product, for the money I paid you can't beat this thing.
So far so good March 13, 2010

I only have the Asus TS Mini 2TB hooked up for about 24 hours now. It came as expected (3 days early even). The server is much smaller than expect and runs very quiet as other reviews have mentioned. The initial setup as very easy. I had my 2 laptops installed and backups setup in less than 2 hours total from the time I opened the box. So far I am very pleased. Another smooth buying experience from Amazon.com.
BTW - it did come with 2 TB as advertised if anyone is still concerned about that.
 Great quality, easy to setup, a lot of good features March 1, 2010

I got my TS Mini (2TB) about a week ago from AMAZON ([...]) and it was for $[...] with free shipping and got it in 3 days. The outer box said it was 500GB so I got concerned but when I opened it the product box itself said 2TB. I physically opened the server and yes I did indeed see two seagate drives each 1TB. When I booted it up it showed 1TB and also 2GB of memory. Not sure why some other people got the wrong one.
So far I am very happy with its performance as expected from an ASUS product. I own several ASUS products including motherboards, Video cards and related computer equipment.
PROS:
1). Easy to setup - was a breeze to have it "seen" by my other computers on my home network as well as PS3
2). The quality of construction is also good
3). Super quiet can hardly hear it even with my ears up against it
4). Runs surprisingly cool I can barely feel any heat around it the fans run super quiet
5). User friendly interface for management
6). Lots of USB ports and an eSATA port to expand
7). Gigabit port
8). Very low power consumption
9). Tons of great features
CONS:
1). 32-bit Architecture. I wish this was a 64-bit Architecture but for my needs to store and stream data I can live with 32-bit
2). Some of the "advanced" settings are not very clearly indicated/mentioned in the documentation but I was able to get around it by googling some of the info and setting it up that way. I really wish they had provided some instructions how to take full advantage of some of the neat features...they left it for the user to "discover"
Over all a 5 STAR but for the Lack of good documentation/instructions on some advanced features I give it a 4.
