if u have the spare parts lying around just stick it in a pc in the corner...i mean its nicer to have that lil box for NAS, but thats only 200gb, sure u could upgrade the hdd, but meh not enough for my tastes

i built a pc w/ spare parts, p3/733 512mb pc133 ram, and 8 hdd's in a server tower.

but im a lil off topic here with my suggestion, so sorry.

but to me it appears to be a nice peice of hardware there....
 
basically its for a company I work for .. there just wanting to buy something they can plug in and take off with it at a moderate price range... If for my self I would just throw together and old system and use for backup and storage purposes but this ones out of my hands just looking for suggestions on a NAS device we can hook up here at the company I work for.. thanks,,,,,
 
Depending on the sort of redunancy you want - this may suit your needs: Lacie etherdisk mini , alternatively go for something like a Linksys NUSL2 and a couple of USB disks - this will allow nightly backup from one to the another (I use one of these and are fantastic little devices -IMO ). Very doubtfull you would get a proper RAID 1 or above solution for the money you are talking.
 
i know the original post isn't asking for this....but i gotta do it
i found this little distro called lormalinux samba server Its kinda like clark connect basically. pretty sure its based off of slackware and the default management is webmin. love it.

Seems to be a linux distro with multiple personalities.
Server, workstation (WS), a gaming version, samba server....

Odd. Have you actually played with it? Seems like it's going in a lot of different directions at once.
 
i had the samba server version running in a celeron 400. it would boot in around a minute. i thought it performed pretty well considering the OS drive was a old 1.4gig. put in a fat partitioned 40gig full of mp3s to check it out. worked very good but am waiting to buy a couple large hard drives for a dedicated samba server tomake sense.
