Hi Philemon, I have OpenBSD 4.0 running, but _no_ samba until now and just an internal 100GB disk which is meant to run 24 hours a day. --> The disk is a Hitachi (100GB, 7229rpm,ATA/IDE) Model: HTE721010G9AT00
I think you should look for a disk which is specified for 24 hours operating time. Consumer disks are not meant to run that long _every_ day. The power supply of the net5501 must be able to deliver a lot of power - I guess- with an external drive ?! Have a look at the power that a net5501 can deliver.
