Where can I get one? - Nice. I'll put that on my wish list. - Not for me, but it sure is pretty. - Lame idea. Have the SD folks lost their minds? ------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's impossible to find anything, even if you've been there before. A lot of people, myself included, have given them a lot of feedback on cleaning up the interface, but I've seen little of it implemented. I will say one thing - if you're using their NAS for simple file storage, there's very little maintenance to be done. I disabled as many services and software packages as I possibly could on my ReadyNAS 600. I think I tried the included backup utility once, but it didn't work very well. Now I just use the NAS as a place to store those backups and it works very well. Looking at my logs just now, the NAS ran continuously from 2005-10-20 to 2006-03-16, when I did a firmware update and rebooted, and it's been running continuosly since then. That's exactly one reboot in eight months, and it's never been powered down. The only alerts in the logs are two times that it went on UPS power during that time period. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24534 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
