I'm not sure there is such an "adapter". Since you already have a NIC adaptor on the client side, what you are asking for is a "server" that provides ethernet access to storage. Well, AoE which you noted does that, so does iSCSI, but nobody I know of is doing a minimal device that will host a single hard disk - the cost is too prohibitive.
Coraid and many iSCSI vendors have such "adapters" or "servers" for multiple disks. Good luck, Dan On 4/19/07, Erez D <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
hi i'm looking for an external hard drive, similiar to the usb-hd boxes there are in the shops. however i want it to be over ethernet (for many resons), and supported by linux ( and prefferably also by xp). there are the iscsi/hyperscsi/aoe protocols. but i was not able to find any cheap adapters to sata. and no, using an old/cheap computer is no go. anyone knows where i can get such an adapter ? erez. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
