NASLite Network Attached Storage

At this moment I'm using FreeNAS as my NAS solution. I'm running it on a old PII and the BIOS of the motherboard doesn't support drives larger than 137GB. For FreeNAS this is not a problem, I configured the BIOS not to detect the my 250GB drive and it's working. Only problem is that it's not stable enough.

Therefore I'm considering purchasing naslite but I want to keep using the old PC and the large drive. Now I would like to know if naslite can also handle larger drives even when the motherboard cannot?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

It will work and it will be stable.

I'm using 3 x 160 gb drives on an old AMD mb that has'nt got a clue what they are when detected by the bios. No problem NAS-2 HDD knows what they are.

from the manual:

NASLite-2 is designed to operate on commodity x86
computers. It is also well suited for re-using older
PCs that are still operational but are too limited or
slow for use as desktop computers. In addition,
NASLite-2 enables older computers with BIOS
limitations to use contemporary, large-capacity IDE
fixed disk drives without the need for additional
hardware.

It will do just fine

Just buy it you will be happy.

I have used the product for over a year as a storage back up for a commerical recording studio. Runs perfect no issues.
