There were problems with bricking the HD-HG300 when flashing the firmware, but I think they've been resolved. Check the HG forum at http://linkstationwiki.org/forum/ Either way, Daniel is right that you should be careful.
I'm not so sure about the claim that SD is dropping support for the OS. Their "support" for the LS is basically support for Linux, and I don't see Linux disappearing from their development plans anytime soon. I'm running 6.5b1 on my LS just fine, although it's an early-May version that doesn't use mySQL. But there's a mySQL package for Freelink'd HD-HGs, so I don't see why that wouldn't work. I've been waiting until things get a bit more stable before upgrading my LS to a MySQL version of slimserver. Prices are always changing, but last time I looked the LinkStation was much less expensive (just under $1/GB) than built-in solutions like Infrant, even the least expensive Infrant. And some of it will depend where you are, as a lot of NAS solutions seem to have limited distribution networks. So there's pros and cons all around, but you should be able to settle on something that will work for you. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24868 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
