EMC Symmetrix DMX-3 brings you the most powerful networked storage solution available You don't list a price for something like that. You make an appointment for a rep to visit you and then you plan your storage strategy and they come and install it. Not something you pick up at Best Buy ;) -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18311 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

So it wasn't actually a realistic or helpful suggestion to bring it up in the first place, but rather something between a joke and a waste of one's time. In my case, it was rather little of the former and all of the latter. -- trebejo trebejo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=730 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18311 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Network Storage: NAS or SAN
it's at: www.yellowmachine.com 1TB NAS with router, firewall, switch, etc. Can it run the SlimServer kernel? They are offering demo units for $700.00 which looks very good for a RAID NAS device! Anyone familiar with these?? Thanks!

As far as i can tell from Netgears Datasheet, the SC101 requires drivers on a Windows PC to be accessable, so it isn't even a proper NAS. -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18311 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I too am interested in some networked storage and have been looking at the Netgear SC101 but have been put off by the fact that not all hard drives appear to be compatible. http://forum1.netgear.com/support/viewtopic.php?t=13117 This seems to negate the advantage that you can fit any drive especially as I mainly have Seagate Ultra drives. -- mattybain After intensive investigation (comma) of the markings on the alien pod (comma) it has become clear (comma) to me (comma) that we are dealing (comma) with a species of awesome intellect (colon).

Try the infrant readyNAS - Ive got slimserver running on it with about 400 gig of music and it works a treat. Slightly slower than a dedicated server I was running before but way cooler as I can just leave it running 24 hours a day as it uses less than 100W of power. -- bossanova808 bossanova808's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=619 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18311 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

chrisla Wrote: As someone who maintains hundreds of terabytes of SAN storage, sorry to burst Netgear's bubble, but they are both NAS devices. SAN is generally defined that it presents the storage to the server as a block device (it thinks it is a local drive) and connects (in general) via Fibre Chanel, not Ethernet or Wireless. There are plenty of iSCSI SAN devices that use Ethernet. Looking at the Netgear site, they claim the device offers block level access and that volumes are local, so I'd say it qualifies as a SAN, although it must certainly be one of the lowest priced SAN devices available. My biggest reservation is that they claim it can only be used with Windows, so if you ever planned on running a Linux or Apple SlimServer, you'd be out of luck. An NAS will do all you need for the purposes of running SlimServer. But unless you plan on using the NAS for other storage needs such as video or computer backups, you'd probably do just as well to simply replace your current drive with a larger one. You can get an awful lot of music on a single 400 or 500GB drive. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18311 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
