mmmmmmmm five drive RAID goodness…

Apparently it's got an in-built antivirus package and it's also got a nice Pentium M in there as well.
Oh that looks so sweet, i really do hope the performance is much better than the 2050 i think, i was going to get one but it was just so poor :(
Cant quite make out from the pics, is it supposed to reside in 3 or 4 5.25" slots, or external from the PC altogether?

ooooooh! lets hope there is a (relatively) easy way to get into the device software then. Could make a *very* nice SlimServer and NAS combination :)
It has 5 Slots, runs on Celeron - built in Gigabit switch :)

Chances are it runs linux, so probably yes.
Wonder if it will support the 750gb HDDs that are out now, maybe with a firmware update or something! Checked on their site, and they only list upto 500gb. Ok, thats 2.5TB in once device, but 3.75TB would be sweet :)
Wonder how much these are going to cost, the older N4100 was around £230 on scan, so i hope there wont be too much of a difference!
….. its not even launched yet :)
….. we will of course HAVE to test with 5 750GB drives… ;)

In that case i cant wait for the review!
Makes it expensive if you fill it with 5 of those drives, but a must have tbh!

2.8TB of RAID-5 would be better than 3.5TB of RAID-0
remember 750gig isn't really what you get. More like 715gig, and thats before file system and RAID overheads.

It's worse than that. By my calcs 750GB = 699GiB (GiB being base 2) before you even consider RAID and filesystem overheads.
my calcs say 750GB = 694.693632GiB
Or even 0.682 TiB
(Have we had enough of these silly cacluations yet)

But it's like playing the price is right!
i clicked the wrong button in xcalc, Steve & Howard are right: 698.49193GiB
surely ‘GiB meister Rys0r’ is the man to sort this out… :mrgreen:
i know what i did. I only devided by 1000 twice, should have been three times.
meh, oh well

Steve already did. And, really, I'm
honestly not sure I care :mrgreen:
i hope the price of SAN comes down thats what im holding out for probally be waiting a long time yet
