Greg, Good luck with your new NAS. FYI, my old, budget DS211J has a gigabit network connection. Do I am surprised that any current NAS systems have 100Mb LAN interfaces. I'll be interested in your experience with the WD unit. > -Original Message- > From: Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes >

Did you put a SATA card in it? Two, in fact. For whatever reason, SW RAID performance absolutely stunk when both drives were on the same card. A second cheapie card, flashed to be Mac-friendly, was the easiest solution. I suspect driver problems, but there's a limit to how much work I want to

I wanted a low power NAS to run 24/7 So how low _is_ it? The Mac G4 (Sawtooth) I'm using for RAID NAS is running about 30W with 2 2TB drives in it, plus a boot drive. (And no video card.) That's 24x7, but it is also our web server. If it were not, and I really cared, I could set it to power up

I really like my Synology DS211J NAS. I wanted a low power NAS to run 24/7 for my main home storage. I have relatively small hard disks in the actual PCs and I wanted to access data from at least two PCs at different ends of the house. I got a Synology 211J which is low performance but also low

I agree with Tim. After researching storage options to a level of detail I never planned, I came to much the same conclusion. If I was going with an off the shelf solution it would be Synology. FreeNAS was really attractive, given the high level of configurability it offered. Since I had an
