    "At least your data will be backed up, with both RAID 0 and RAID 1 as an option."


    When will people get that RAID 0 is not for backup. In fact, it's the opposite!

    How fast does a NAS need to be when it's serving music and video? And how fast does the network have to be to be too slow for the latest 2.5" platters? Seems to me like power saving is a good benefit, and the speed loss would never be a factor.

    Well, then. This device is most definitely not for me. (Not that "smallest" anything would likely have been on my wishlist...)

    @nutbastard: I actually have a perfect use for it...for my parents.


    A linux system so that I can remotely access their network, so when my dad calls me to fix something on his computer I have an easy way in. Beats the current alternative of me trying to tell him where to click, and going through the screens via memory.


    As long as it has rdesktop (or I can put it on), it's golden!

    I know its meant to be a server, but a monitor port would be nice to. As others said more storage could be added via USB

    @Todd MacDonald: The monitor port is completely unnecessary and would also necessitate the need for display driver and other hardware, which would make it bigger than it needs to be. Just use virtual desktop apps or remote server management.

    This is just the thing for me - space is at a premium but I'd really like a Linux server to play with.


    USB ports are easy enough to expand using a hub. But 500 MB of flash doesn't sound like much. Does the USB port mean you could hook up drives to it? That's the deal breaker for me.

    @stryder100: Just use network storage. Cheap, and easily upgradable, swappable or portable without having to dismantle or shut down your server. Hence why the server shouldn't have all the storage inside it. You could even go wireless with some brands.
