As I am ripping my way through my CD collection the PC is sprouting more and more harddisks. It got me thinking that it may be time to move slim to a separate machine.
A NAS box would be nice but they are quite expensive. For the same money I could buy a nice new PC and rebuild my current PC into a Linux Slim server. It shouldn't be too hard to setup a headless linux based file server. There may even be free webbased admin tools. (not done my homework yet) I see the main advantages of NAS as high availability, multi user access and small size. I use a usb case and another stack of external disks for backup. I don't mind spending an hour or so replacing a disk and filling it with data. In terms of file sharing there is only the slimserver and the occasional addition of new rips and backups. Size doesn't matter (as they say). Are there any other advantages of going with a NAS box? cheers Gus -- gusi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gusi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3801 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25340 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
