Anyone tested the:

My Book Live Duo WDBVHT0080JCH

I'm getting 16TB storage NAS and was wondering if instead of getting the "Synology DS412+", since I'm not gonna be using DSM's features, and since I'm gonna use RAID1.

I could get 2 My Book Live Duo WDBVHT0080JCH and instead of RAID1 i could just use the full 8TB as storage and place each NAS at different location and sync them with BTSync.

No, I haven't, but, I'd just like to point out that for not that much more (~ $200, based on the amazon price of the WDBVHT0080JCH being $650) I got a full machine with 8 HDD slots (upgradable to 20 disks at any point, with, upgrades that I don't have the plunge into at once), full NAS software (based off slackware that can run other stuff like plex/sabnzbd/sickbeard/couch/btsync/custom programs/etc), 16GB of ECC ram, a 4 core 3.3GHz stock CPU.

No idea about you, but, I'd say that's worth $200ish more of building your own machine, although, I do admit that my case is huge compared to that small thing, however, I prefer usability over size.
