File Server - Hardware

Postby nokompranos on Wed May 10, 2006 4:41 pm

I'm looking for a recommendation on a file server (appliance) for a small business (10 employees). Needs to suppoort a mixed environment - winblows, mac and linux. Preferrably nfs as well.

I have looked at the buffalo boxes, yellow machine, and infrant's nas.

Anyone have good/bad experiences with any of these?

Thanks

/me personally always build systems by myself.

if it is fileserver, hdd size, network card and RAM are critically.
HDD: Seagate, Samsung, WesternDigital, the bigger - the better, all in RAID5
Network: Intel 1000Mbit
RAM: Any, 1024M

Software: as it seems you will run windows servrer, and you want to use nfs, look at MS product - UNIX migration kit, there is NFS server

But it is better to use *BSD(Secure,Stable)/Linux(Extemely Fast)
