Have about 10 of them of varying sizes.. what you want to know?

ITX board, a dash of linux and a load of 750Gb seagates would probably be a more flexible and cheaper option...

its running embedded xp which, being embedded means its not going to have problems booting if a disk fails.

You can get off the shelf embedded xp devices...

Just an option...

Theres bound to be linking goodness on there.

I'm going in...

[rich1231]

i was tempted as it was off the shelf... and no faffing by me could break it

[rich1231]

it doesnt have to be XP as long as it allows the drives to be NAS for me via IP, shares, FTP and some user management.

Mind you another angle maybe getting a terastation type affair and taking the guts out of it and bunging it in a 1U...

Dropped you an email to your work addy Rich.

ITX

Linux running on a SD Card

HDD's strictly as storage?

Granted the Lacie does involve the least ing about of all the options mentioned so far...

[rich1231]

Could just turn that spare pc/linux into a big NAS server..
