[CS-FSLUG] [OT] USB Hubs; Gigabit Networking

[Nathan T.]

Not at all, in fact what I'm looking at doing is replacing having a  
USB drive for every computer I'm running and instead making back-ups  
to a network attached storage. I was looking at the D-Link DNS-323  
for this, but my experience with them has been sketchy from the very  
first time one of their routers came into the house. I'd get one if  
only for the price, although I admit I'd much rather have a ReadyNAS.

What I'd need to consider is the kind of speeds I might be getting,  
reliable connectivity would be a big issue, and of course it would  
need to have raid 1 because it would be storing my most important  
files as well as all my back-ups. I would have considered going with  
FreeNAS except that I need proper working access control and I'd  
prefer to keep things as simply as possible. I'd also prefer to keep  
the power consumption, noise, and space usage to an absolute minimum.
