Nanopoint 3.5" IDE NAS USB

[pmanson]

Hi,

Does any one have any experience of using one of these?



It looks like it would do the job I need it to do (Music & Photo Server) and all I would need to do is buy a reasonably sized Hard Drive to put in it.

Not used one of these, but would consider one, when I'd be in the market for a NAS. It allows you to connect with both USB and ethernet, which is good when you want to use it on the go with PnP. Regarding the alternative between ext and FAT file systems and the offer of NFS, FTP and Samba-server, I'd guess that it runs with embedded Linux, which could mean that it is (at least technically) possible to extend the range of services that run on the NAS. Not sure if you want to use it with PATA or SATA discs, as it only supports PATA.

I was just planning on shoving a £50 IDE drive in there (Of a similar size to my existing external HD).

The USB would come in handy for transfering backups of DVD's etc
