- LogitechG15, on 03/30/2008, -13/+149Dear Creative,
***** You - LogitechG15, on 03/30/2008, -9/+98Wrong post, bury me please.
- n3tfury, on 03/30/2008, -3/+62make a four bay model and i'm sold.
- thedragon4453, on 03/30/2008, -1/+51I'm digging you, because creative deserves a double *****. And not the good kind, the prison kind.
- courtjester555, on 03/30/2008, -1/+43No, it's still apt
- schestowitz, on 03/30/2008, -10/+46"In the end, this product isn't just another NAS, but a bold statement that HP is making, that it doesn't have to be saddled by the rough riders of Redmond when it can build (license?) its own practically identical box at a lower cost."
[Oh! and no unresolved data corruption] - Cryoniq, on 03/30/2008, -3/+39We will see a lot more GNU/linux product pop up in the near future like HP's for sure. I would never ever in my dreams do Windows Home Server to hold my precious digital photos of family, kids birth etc. Never!
- EllimistX, on 03/30/2008, -0/+25So why is the setup Windows only if it's Linux based? Can't imagine Linux users would be too happy with that...
- czeman, on 03/30/2008, -4/+28I was wondering what the hell you were talking about. lol
- MikeSD34, on 03/30/2008, -0/+19A large percentage of NAS boxes ARE Linux based. They just don't tell you that on the box.
- Celeron, on 03/30/2008, -3/+21"Kicked-Ass", why the ***** is there a - in there?
- lateralus, on 03/30/2008, -1/+18His comment is universally accepted and valid in any forum for any topic.
I only wish he had said Iomega. - 89vision, on 03/30/2008, -1/+17Theres only room for two drives....
- fkr3, on 03/30/2008, -7/+22Only Gizmodo could come up with crap like that, and only you would swallow it. HP has worked with non-Microsoft operating systems and technologies for years.
- ryan00davis, on 03/30/2008, -0/+15the article is comparing to windows HOME SERVER, not windows MEDIA CENTER
- Porch, on 03/30/2008, -1/+16Windows Home Server has a data corruption problem that won't be fixed for the next 3 months? WTF? Has Microsoft totally lost it?
- mrsteveman1, on 03/30/2008, -0/+13That ladies and gentleman, is a classic example of not reading the ***** article
- czeman, on 03/30/2008, -2/+15No need to be a prick. Oh, and Linux makes a great desktop OS too *****!
- inactive, on 03/30/2008, -1/+13The incredible thing is that the NAS market is so goddamned lame. How hard can it be to make a competent file server? Until it shapes up, just plug an old laptop connected to external storage into your router and be done with it.
- mochaman, on 03/30/2008, -1/+12This makes more sense to me than getting time capsule + more bang for the buck.
- graemee, on 03/30/2008, -1/+11jm#### is just an obvious troll.
- andycr512, on 03/30/2008, -0/+9"Linux makes sense for a NAS but not as a desktop OS."
Speak for yourself. - MellerTime, on 03/30/2008, -0/+9I assumed that it was like most routers and comes with a pretty idiot-friendly setup utility for those too stupid or lazy to find the default IP and configure it from the web. Review said the Mac could manage it from the web-based panel just fine, so I imagine that's the case.
- inactive, on 03/30/2008, -4/+13boycott Creative products
- mizarone, on 03/30/2008, -0/+8well, then you're *****
- walkie19, on 03/30/2008, -1/+8Microsoft got ***** years ago
- GezusK, on 03/30/2008, -0/+74 bays and RAID5, and I'm with ya.
- MellerTime, on 03/30/2008, -0/+7To make the features you mention available, you have to have much more intelligent software-based pseudo-RAID, which is going to require a lot more CPU horsepower to perform adequately. That's probably why you haven't seen any bottom-dollar NAS devices offer that kind of functionality yet.
Besides, if your WHS box has room for 12 drives you obviously didn't buy the off-the-shelf HP system, which means you're building your own and clearly not the target market here. - inactive, on 03/30/2008, -2/+8So refreshing that you're being modded up on that observation, in this outpost of misused apostrophes and "your" instead lf "you're".
- czeman, on 03/30/2008, -0/+5Yeah, that is true, and it is a point I forgot to mention. I just ordered a nice one a couple days ago for $60, and a 500GB hard drive for $100. I'll stick with what costs roughly 50%.
- haterofps3, on 03/30/2008, -0/+5Raid 1 moron
- sirhomer, on 03/30/2008, -0/+5Did you bother to RTFA? It does backups..
Also unlike WHS it wont randomly corrupt files you store on it in a nearly year old flaw that Microsoft is planning to fix "by June". - MaverickAlex, on 03/30/2008, -0/+5Don't you know how to format a drive? Hard drives are not made with a file system that you can't change.
- Plotinus, on 03/30/2008, -0/+5and then, Archer, we come to LVM...can anything in windows come even close to how awesome LVM is?
Didn't think so - luchid, on 03/30/2008, -0/+5What if one likes the prison kind?
- IphtashuFitz, on 03/30/2008, -1/+6I've got a Thecus N5200 that I'm extremely happy with. It's a 5-bay SATA NAS with a linux kernel. It supports third party modules and there's plenty of modules that folks have written for it. Everything from perl to rsync to various media streaming apps.
- MellerTime, on 03/30/2008, -0/+5The electricity and heat production are my main NAS preferences. I just wish I didn't have such crazy server needs so I could totally replace my Windows 2008 box with a little 12v NAS with no fan.
- h0m3styl3, on 03/30/2008, -3/+8yeah, apparently schestowitz has never experienced HP-UX servers which are the only unix servers we use at work.
- arobar, on 03/30/2008, -0/+5Did you read the link below the comment you're replying to that said, "REPLY". Usually people click that when they want to reply to a post.
- flatopokey, on 03/30/2008, -0/+4Build your own lots of free distros and cheep hardware.
- mrsteveman1, on 03/30/2008, -1/+5They have been selling redhat servers for a long time too
- czeman, on 03/30/2008, -1/+5Besides, I already own a couple and know they run Linux. I did my homework before buying them. My original point was that I would stick with something at half the cost. Didn't you ever completely ***** up something you were trying to say? I guess not. I forgot that you're perfect.
- czeman, on 03/30/2008, -0/+4It isn't hard to make a good file server. Some of us just don't have an old laptop with USB or FireWire ports laying around, but damn would that be sweet. In my case I have 5 machines running at all times, and I don't want any of them to be file servers. Two of them are automation computers for a radio station. I'd rather stack 3 or 4 NAS enclosures on a shelf than find room for another computer and pay an even higher electric bill.
- mrsteveman1, on 03/30/2008, -1/+5Dude if HP gives you a boner....
you are doing it wrong :D
On the other hand there is something to be said for redundancy, if this little box can give you raid 1 with its 2 disks its perfect. - MaverickAlex, on 03/30/2008, -0/+4Post your address, I'm sure someone will help you out with that.
- drouk1556, on 03/30/2008, -0/+4As am I.
- sockpuppets, on 03/30/2008, -13/+17Make a Michael Bay model and I'll transform.
- Fragalishus, on 03/30/2008, -0/+4I'm digging you up because I had the same article open in another tab, too. Well...that and Creative sucks anyway.
- ericdano, on 03/30/2008, -0/+4Raid 5 needs at least 3 drives.
Personally, I've been using a ReadyNAS for, wow, almost 2 years. Works flawlessly for me. Raid 5, expandable, supports terrabyte drives and partitions over 2 terrabytes. Great product. Plus, you can start off small and expand it.
And it runs on Linux. -
