As in Network Attached Storage

They are becoming pretty popular these days, does anyone here have one?

I was thinking of getting the Linksys NSLU2 for haxxing and installing various Linux-apps, but I changed my mind so I\'m thinking of getting the QNap TS-109 Pro with a 250GB HDD.

I will use it as an iTunes server, Photo/Music/Video server via TwonkyMedia. It can also be used as an FTP, HTTP etc. server, so its very versatile.

Well I got mine, great little device.



Using it as iTunes server, TwonkyMedia station (streaming audio/video/photos to PS3), FTP-server, webhost (website and forum works, no problem).

Very happy with it. :)

It looks pretty cool. How much did it cost?

Total cost was 451USD, but everything is expensive here (my PS3 cost me almost 900USD ;) ) so I bet you could get away with much less in USA/Canada.

I was going for the NSLU2 at first, that thing costs like 600 Kronor which is nothing, but I changed my mind and got the QNap since I read the NSLU2 can have problems streaming HD video. Its a bit of a step, ~2500 Kronor vs 600, but I\'m happy with the device. :shy:

It has a HDD Spin-down feature which lets the internal HDD spin down to a full stop after XX minutes of inactivity, it works well. The unit does not get that hot either, the highest temp I have seen is around 35 Celsius for the HDD. You can even set a upper limit for the HDD temp.
