Καλημέρα johnal,

Η ερώτησή σου ακούγεται κάπως έτσι:

Μπορώ να έχω ένα κυκλωμα που να μετατρεπει ενα δισκο σε ETHERNET? Και αν ειναι δυνατον να ειναι πολυκαναλος ο controller ωστε να υποστηριζει και RAID?

 

Η απάντηση είναι νομίζω απλή: ΟΧΙ

Άν όμως θέσεις τη ερώτηση κάπως αλλιώς ίσως βρεθούν λύσεις. Περιμένουμε...

[FELIX]

Τέτοιο εξωτερικό κουτί είδα στο e-shop της Asus αν θυμάμαι καλά,αλλά για wireless.

Έβγαλε η Netgear ένα, δεν ξέρω πως το λένε. Το είδα σε διαφήμιση $129 και παίρνει 2 IDE HD.

Linksys NSLU2 Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk Drives

http://www.allstarshop.com/shop/product.asp?pid=9295&sid=KDE4LF2WV2SF8G9U2VT37D7WG3N284H6

 

διαβαζοντας ενα review, βλεπω οτι ειναι λιγο πατάτα... :-|

 

http://www.smallbusinesscomputing.com/testdrive/article.php/3413011

 

Linksys says the NSLU2 currently supports up to 250MB drives, with larger drives to be supported in future firmware updates.)

 

In order to use a disk with the NSLU2 (I tested with two USB 2.0 hard drives from different vendors — an Iomega 80GB unit and a Maxtor 40GB drive), you must first format it with the device's built-in formatting tool. The NSLU2's file system is not Windows-compatible, so once you format a drive, you can no longer access it directly by connecting it to a Windows PC via the USB port. Furthermore, if you're planning to use an external drive that already has data on it, be sure to off-load the files to your PC — otherwise you'll lose the data during the formatting process.

 

Also, once you connect a USB drive to the NSLU2 you may as well consider it to be internal. Disk drives are not hot swappable, so you must first power down the unit before connecting or disconnecting one.

 

It doesn't include a disk defrag option, however, and that could degrade performance since fragmentation inevitably occurs over time.

 

As mentioned previously, you can use one of the NSLU2's USB ports to provide access to a USB Flash drive. Linksys includes a special utility that detects when a Flash drive is inserted and pops up a dialog box letting you map the device to a drive letter. (It does this on every PC running the utility simultaneously, which might be somewhat annoying for people who don't need access to the drive.)

 

The NSLU2's haphazardly designed and frustrating user interface is a major drawback. The overall layout of the administration pages is extremely confusing, and related functions that should be grouped together often aren't, making them hard to locate quickly.

 

Remote Access

In addition to browser-based administration, the NSLU2 lets you access the data drives (albeit in read-only mode) directly via a browser. This makes it possible to provide remote access to data by making the NSLU2 accessible over the Internet via simple firewall port forwarding, but doing so would be a very bad idea for a number of reasons.

 

One reason is that logging in to the device from the Internet means sending personal information — your username and password — over a non-secured pathway — a big no-no. Moreover, administrative and data access to the NSLU2 aren't separate (you do both from the same page). Therefore, you can't remotely administer the NSLU2 without exposing the data to potential Internet threats as well.

 

Another big problem: you can actually change any user's password (provided you know the username) without having to log into the NSLU2 as an administrator. And while you can modify the port you use for browser-based access to the NSLU2, you can't disable browser access since that would preclude administration of the device.

 

When using the NSLU2 as the destination for any type of backup, it's important to remember that since an attached disk drive is useless without the NSLU2, a true disaster recovery scenario will necessarily involve a spare NSLU2 unit to ensure a restore is possible.
