Network Storage

Hi,

I would like to make something like this:
http://www.netgear.com/Products/Stor...adyNASDuo.aspx

As have a laptop now and considering of discarding my PC. I would like to use those parts in the PC to make something thing like that of the above.

So can be used to storage all files and be accessed at home.

Maybe put in to some sort of shuttle. Ideally not windows based though so not windows server, either similar to what the netgear firmware/software runs on or linux/mac.

Thanks

I got enough of netgear stuff, so you may check this out ?
great features, supports 2 drives, auto power off, usb ports ... + user/drive mapping

That would be very easy to do with Linux and Samba. Ubuntu seems to be the simplest since the installation automatically includes everything you need for simple peer to peer file sharing. Install the OS and find a good out of the way spot to set your server without monitor, keyboard, or mouse. (you may need to set the bios to not use the keyboard or will will complain on boot)

Are you trying to access them from the internet? You upload speed that your ISP throttles probably sucks. The max speed I can ever get uploading is about 100 ~ 130k per second.
