Same question here. I'm ogling the QNAP TS-259 Atom series because they have enough grunt to run Squeezeboxserver and are x86 so it can use various codecs. My concerns are fan noise and their alleged use of a hacked up ext3.5 filesystem. Any users here? What about Synology NASen?

We use Synology NAS DS409 (with ARM) with 4 x 2 TB in RAID5 for backing up two servers and some computers and I like it very much. It is really very good piece of hardware. Very small, quiet and having very good software - web UI as well as access over SSH and command line / busy box. It works very well.

Had a couple of LaCie drives (both USb and nas) I never trust a single backup, hence... Both faied within one year. Nice thing about garanty, you get your mony back, but your data is gone. Think qnap is a bit more expensive, but looks better. other option, already mentioned, is building it yourself. In that case, you can support rsync, not found in many.. hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Take a look at freenas. I am running it from a USB-stick, so no need for a disk for the system. Mini-ITX board (Intel D510MO ATOM dual core) performs almost like a "Real Server (TM)". Does samba, rsync, nfs, upnp, daap, iscsi, ftp, http, torrent, ....

For home use, (or even small business) you can buy small self contained disk enclosures that have a number of io ports, usually a choice of scsi, usb, sata, and cat5. These are quite cheep.

Hi Pete, Bought a tiny ICY-box, that can hold two drives and has one Gb interface. Performance is horrible, Would suggest to avoid it like the plaque. Cheap, but waste of any money. hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
