NASLite Network Attached Storage

What benefits do I get over the current version that I have? (Current version is I.X)

More HD's if you need them and even raid if you want to go that route.
USB support and firewire devices. and a far more detailed info of the status of the server. check out the manual for more info.

Here are a few comments from my experience upgrading.
1. In addition to the license key - you need an unlock code - which is available online after you enter your key. Just follow the directions.
2. My drives were renumbered. 1 became 0 and 4 became 2. This effected my mapped drives. Not a big deal.

Without running any timings - 2.0 feels faster on reads than 1.5 did.

I have a pentium 200 w 96 megs and a couple of IDE drives.

Whats the maximum amount of drives that the server can handle?

DUH!...NM. I found it.


NASlite v1.x supports up to 4 IDE disks as made available by on-board IDE controllers. NASLite-2 on the other hand can handle as many disks as one can properly interface given available IRQs and controller types. Theoretical limit is 128 volumes as handled by the NASLite-2 kernel, but one will run out of IRQs long before that.
