So I've been thinking about this kind of stuff for quite a while now. Having never had an NAS before, it was kind of hard to relate to. Now that I have something to play with, I can bring some of the thoughts together.

(Other things, like NFS, I'm ignorant to - at this point. Print Server, I'd like to try out. <Hooked one up, but wasn't quite sure what to do to access it? And Web Access too, but I'll have to read up on those.)

Gets a good review at smallnetbuilder.

So if it's getting a good review, & I'm thinking that performance is lame, that tells me it is my network setup, 10/100, that is limiting me. (Now if I had a 1 GB switch to play with & some real world experience with the two ...)
