So I need to replace my dying NAS/Print server and was contemplating a low power web server (5-10 watts) so I could stop leaving a workstation/server on all the time.
Aside from the massive question of what to get, there's the tricky part of should this be 1 device or 2? It seems like a NAS with hardware RAID and 2-4 drives and 2-4 usb ports would do the trick nicely, but I'm having a hard time finding out how much power these things take and many of them seem to have custom linux setups with oddities that would prevent me from saying running apache/mod_wsgi/trac or plone (the 2 things I use for my websites). Is the trade-off of a less flexible linux install for a simpler printer/network share config worth it? (I've done a samba printer share before but it took me several days to figure out) Anyone have any suggestions about devices? I've been poking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822122022 http://www.amazon.com/fit-PC-Slim-Diskless/dp/B001L4I9HK and some other similar stuff...
