NASLite Network Attached Storage

Thought I'd start a thread for pictures of peoples NASboxes so here's mine, It sits on top of the beer fridge in my garage.

Nice NAS Wilbur, Here is mine its the middle box,


side view

might as well join the fun, so heres mine



I wonder what the guy who built this box would think if I told him she now has over 200GB of hard drive capacity. She started life with 4!

NasLite+ USB



Old ASUS small format PC (NLX)
1Gig Intel Processor, 256Mb Memory, 250 Gb HDD, onboard Intel Pro NIC, 64Mb USB flash moumted inside on a PCI USB card.

Normally lives in loft, but brought down and cover removed to photograph.

Hi thought I'd put my upgraded nascase pics on




Got another caddie to go in in the next few weeks

Contributing a peek at a client's setup, a small office of about 30. All machines are P-200 / 128M RAM in vintage AT cases.

Boxes 1, 2 and 4 are all running NASLite+ for USB Flash and use the boot kicker. Box 3 is used for tape backups and some other utils (Running NT I think). The remaining 2 boxes are a firewall and authenticated web export for part of the LAN. Total storage capacity is just over 3TB across 12 separate disks. All 3 NASLite boxes have been in a powered-on state for 8 months without an incident. Last reboot was an OS upgrade to latest release.

All 6 are on a UPS, so brownouts and the like do not cause problems.

The total hardware cost for the installation was under $1200US with most of that spent on new storage drives about an year or so ago.

Anyway, does not top Wilbur’s power case, but I thought I share

Hy,

Ok, i thought we have this at another Place, but fpr completation:

My Terabyte NAS Project:
http://www.terabyteserver.de.ms/ (in german)



Facts:
* 4 Maxtor 250GB HDDs
* P2-500 with 256MB RAM
* 3COM 3C509 NIC
* Naslite SMB

And another FTP-NAS in action (in a greek-restaurant):



Facts:
* an old P2-300 Computer
* 128MB RAM
* some old 10-40 GB HDDs
* Naslite FTP

And here is a picture of my current NAS Server. It is in the cellar, where phone lines, DSL, Powerbackup, routers converters and patchpanels etc are installed as well. Runs like a charm, with zero maintenance. I am using two sets of drives, with an alternate storage location.
A second box, for the new release, is already on hold and just waiting for the necessary hardware specs.

ciao

this is my NAS :



Its a IBM Netvista 2800 (8364-EXX ThinClient) with Intel Pentium Mobile 266 MHz, 2X 250GB Harddisk in extern Cases . I use Naslite-2 USB , boot it on CF-Card and use a USB stick for config-file.

Here's mine. It needs to be repainted a darker brown to better match its surroundings, although it isn't quite as chocolate as the flash makes it look.



I guess Wilbur and I are the only ones going for looks.

P3 1 gig
gig of ram (sdr... had a load lying around!)
700gig of HD space across 7 drives
in my good old InWinQ500 case

it's in a cupbord with my printer to keep noise down

gets warm in there, but not really hot

The case came with a $150 PC I got. Because NASLite don't take a lot of power I put a old motherboard in it. It has a 320GB hard drive in it. I am using the motherboard that came in it on something else.

It's up on a shelf in my bed room.



Device Details:




Nice setup every one! I like t_indra set up the best here.

Case looks like an HP MT series I'd want to say 5100 but I would be wrong. More like a 7600....
