MobileNAS MN4L
I was groov’n on a Sans Digital MobilNAS MN4L in Black with 4 1TB SATA drives. Linux NAS Server 4 Bay SATA Intel Pentium M LV 1.2 Ghz. You can run RAID 5 or 6, or RAID 0 (striping: splits data evenly across two or more disks making one big drive with no data protection or “redundancy”),1 (mirror). The MobileNAS has one eSATA, two USB 2.0 & one Firewire 400 exteral hard drive expansion ports. It is software based RAID using a Pentium M chip (thus why we have to have a little extra RAM on board for the computer to opearate). On network attached storage there needs to be a computer managing the network connection and the various functions of a server. The unit is best suited for larger data storage applications on a network and on-line video file storage.
The drives easly pop out and with a RAID 5 configuration you can keep a hot spare on-line to instantly rebuild your failing drive.
