Chris, That ReadyNAS is a sweet looking box. The no UK distributor is the usual kick in the groin to smart technology! I'm curious as to whether the box itself is hackable (I'll be having a look at the "embedded OS" with a couple of friends to see if it can be reversed - h**p://www.infrant.com/download/RAIDiator-1.00c1-p18 although somehow doubt it) it would be good to be able to get the slimserver actually running on the NAS... I'm looking at a "roll your own solution" (read Shuttle case and micro ITX) as per h**p://www.mashie.org/casemods/ or if I'm feeling lazy, then the linkstation seems to be popular and is even available over here to boot!
I assume you're stateside, and am jealous! Can't hold out for much longer. I've heard talk 'bout aftershave and sweaters...

Here is what I have been looking at: Either the ReadyNAS or Terastation (prefer ReadyNAS) to get about 750 GB of usefull RAID5 storage (1TB raw). Hotswap drives a plus, but not required. I was then either going to a) hack the NAS to put in slimserver, or stand up an external box (Soekris 4801, probably) to run slimserver. What I am looking for, is the same, in one box. The ability to do snapshots is a big plus, as well. If your device will host external SATA drives, will it support RAID (hard or soft), which RAID levels, and how many external SATA drives. I will hold out, but only can for another week or so.
