Alternatively try using their bridge boards and building a case yourself but I get the feeling that will turn out more expensive in the long run.
NAS on the cheap Netgears SC101 : http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?quicklinx=3V6Q
Although the software has had great reviews the box itself seems to problematic with noted issues of overheating plus average transfer rates.
Yeh for real NAS I'd use a cheap linux box or maybe even a fast embedded solution with some NAS software. No way would I pay silly NAS prices and remember thats without the disks ! |
Im currently using a windows box running MCE as my NAS. Only problems with that seem to be noise as its in my bedroom and does make a lot of noise even when idling. And for some reason windows setup decides it would be a good idea to destroy the whole partition table on my 300GB drive everytime I need to reinstall. It is recoverable but only with a Third party program so that means I cant install windows on the 300GB drive wich was what I originally wanted to do. As a precaution I unplug the 300GB during windows installation now.
Doesnt the netgear SC101 only support FAT 32 though? I really need either NTFS or Linux partition table support as I do have several large files that are over the FAT 32 size limit.
