I think you're both a little mixed up.  SilverLining is a software program
that does basic hard disk management, such as dividing your hard disk into 
separate volumes, write-locking and password-protecting each volume, testing 
and initializing the hard disk, etc.  SilverPlatter is a different software
program that allows hard disks to be shared across a network.  Both are
supposed to come free when you buy a Cirrus hard disk; you can also buy the
two of them for around $100.  Again, both are SOFTWARE.

I got my Cirrus hard disk before SilverPlatter was written, and I didn't 
feel like paying to upgrade when SilverPlatter came out (I have a single 
Mac, not a network), so I can't tell you anything more about it.  
SilverLining, though, is the best Mac hard disk management program I know.
