Help choosing a NAS for home network

you can either choose a mobo that does RAID, or you can buy an expansion card that will do it if you buy a NAS you have to pick and choose which features are available, with a DIY fileserver, you get whatever you want, plus later can add whatever you forgot to consider ;)

Help choosing a NAS for home network

I've got both a NAS (nslu2) and a true fileserver (celeron 2.6ghz, 2gb ram, 900gb hard drive space, running xp pro) my fileserver is way overkill in terms of power for what's actually required. I just simply had some stuff lying around and threw it together essentially, all that you do is...

Separating Wireless and Wired Network

um why would you need to change any of the IP's on your network? if they're statically assigned, and in the 192.168.1.x range like most linksys, then nothing changes the router will still be 192.168.1.1 ps, that article is specifically referring to trunking, which is a different animal...

Help choosing a NAS for home network

the only want that's missing is having the hard drives internal to the NAS. I agree it's a bit of a hassle having to power everything seperately, but once you have it set up, the NSLU2 does work pretty well. (especially when you already own one and don't need to spend $500 more bucks on...

In that case, I'd definitely flash to dd-wrt. I've never had any stability issues that weren't self inflicted (read physically dropping the router ;) ) and it'll give you pretty much all the functionality you'll ever need

Help choosing a NAS for home network

is there a reason you won't just stick a 2nd drive on the NSLU2 and raid them? the NSLU2 isn't ideal, but for the network you describe it should do everything you're asking about

Help choosing a NAS for home network

I've never run into a NAS that requires some sort of client software. it kind of defeats the purpose of a NAS. if the $550 you're looking to spend includes the hard drives, I think you're kind of boned.

Anybody use or know of any kind of program that can limit bandwidth of other PCs?

If you've got a linksys WRT54G you can use 3rd party firmware like DD-WRT to do exactly what you're looking for (QoS, traffic shaping)

I've got a NSLU2 as well, and I feel your pain ;) the Dlink unit looks very promising, but I've never had any luck with their products(other than NICs) Tom's Hardware has a good writeup with comparison's of NAS units
