The Drobo data robot was very attractive when it was announced, but a non-starter for me because I need a NAS. What I really want is a NAS that can run slimserver directly and not choke when I'm using the web-based controller (unlike my NSLU2).
They just announced the DroboShare, which is a gigEther connected SMB-only front end to a Drobo. It's a closed box, and won't run applications other than Drobo. I like the Drobo RAID technology better than Infrant's, but I would need to come up with a slimserver box, preferably something that doesn't have rotating parts. I'm not sure that the WRT54 family has what it takes to run an SMB client and SlimServer and the web front end ... they're limited in both RAM and horsepower. Any words of wisdom out there? I know the Drobo is new, but perhaps you've already run slimserver on a WRT box or something similar? Which one? Thanks. -- cak ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11641 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42275 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
