Nice looking 'disk array'

[Christopher Browne]

The next time I'm looking to do any disk expansion, I think I'm going
to look at some of the new "NAS" options...

One that looks pretty attractive is the Infrant ReadyNAS.

Empty of disk, it's about $800 CDN; it then supports up to 4 SATA
drives, speaking RAID with that so that with 4 250GB drives, you'd
have, with redundancy, 0.75TB of storage.

According to the FAQ, it's actually running Linux.

Yes, I could throw a SATA controller onto an existing box; the
"appliance" approach here strikes me as being increasingly attractive.

Has anyone tried one of these?
