The NSLU2 is one slow device. I ran some tests on it *after* I over clocked it and the slug took nearly 4 hours to backup 21GB of data across the network to a USB 2.0 drive enclosure. FWIW, I tested both ways by backing up from the slug to the PC while the drive was NTFS then formatted Ext3 and copied back. It took about 15 minutes less time copying the data back to the drive. Minimal network traffic at the same time. I originally unslung mine but had to revert back to the Linksys firmware to support NTFS until the drive was backed up. Time to re-slung. Reading on the NSLU2 page says browsing is slow but playback is OK. I'm not sure if I'm okay with just OK. For under $200 you should try to take the mini-ITX route!
