Seagate web site refers to xiotech inc that they've acquired. Although Xiotech product seems to be good it's high-end SAN with fiber whereas I am just looking for affordable Network based storage that can handle NT & FreeBSD clients. Linksys is only selling RAID 1 products, Cobalt only RAID 0 and Network Appliances products are just over-my-budget. As far as I know the SnapServer 4000 is the only affordable RAID5 NAS (<3K$) available on the market. The fact that SnapServer NFS stack doesn't support much security shouldn't be in a big issue in my case. Thanks for all the feedbacks! -philippe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
