Have you thought of using <a href="http://freenas.org/freenas">http://freenas.org/freenas</a> or <a href="http://www.openfiler.com/">http://www.openfiler.com/</a> both are pretty good, and I have used both in dev and testing environments. If I was going to put one in a small business or at home I would use one of these, way more features for the price. Just build a little atom/epia/i3 or low-end amd based pc with a cheap sata card. I have seen corporate sans that only have a 1ghz x86 cpu so it is little different. <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 4:16 PM, Paul Gear <<a href="mailto:paul@libertysys.com.au">paul@libertysys.com.au</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">Hi folks, I'm looking for a low-end iSCSI NAS for SOHO use, and i came across QNAP <<a href="http://www.qnap.com/" target="_blank">http://www.qnap.com/</a>> (mainly the TS-219P and TS-419P models). The features seem ridiculously good for the price (including online RAID expansion & remote replication), and i get warm fuzzies knowing that they have Linux inside. Can anyone who has used them comment on their reliability, performance, or any other issues?
