Home NAS Recommendations

[Rafael Carneiro]

I have a D-Link DNS-323 at home and I'm very happy with it. It is more
expensive but it gives you gigabit ethernet, a USB port and RAID 1. Out of
the box you also get: ftp, smb, UPnP media server, itunes server, torrent
(sort of, you need to "install" it, but I still consider that out of the
box).

Like many other such devices, it runs linux. It's very easy to get console
access ( telnet at first - http://wiki.dns323.info/ ) and from there the
limits are your imagination and it's processing power/memory =D (ARM 500MHz,
32MB RAM).
