NASLite Network Attached Storage

Hi to @ll,

i just buy NASLite-2 USB and installed.

for testing i used a SATA SAMSUNG HD501LJ (500 GB)
no problem so far

i have also a Maxtor ATA 300GB and will use them both in my NasLite2

is this posible to mix ATA + SATA ?

thanks in advance


PS: sorry for my bad english

Hi BigTony,

One of the good sides of NL is that you can almost add any old / new drives you have (even if your BIOS doesn't see them) and NL will use them. For each drive you add, you'll have a new disk (disk-0, disk-1 etc). The disk order may change if you add gradually different types of disks but the data will always be on the disks.

Regards

BigTony,

I currently run 10 drives in my NL box.
4 drives on the onboard IDE, 4 on a PCI IDE card and 2 on a PCI SATA card.

This has been running for 4 months without a problem.

Go For It!!

"NasLite Rocks!!!!!"

Thanks for the info.

i will try to configure it.

regards, BigTony

How do you map 10 hard drives on your PC?
I would like to see all NAS as one drive on my PC. Is that possible...in JBOD mode?

If you access via the Share, i.e. map 192.168.0.xxx\Shares to, say, X: then Disk-1 maps to X:\Disk-1, Disk-2 maps to X:\Disk-2, etc, etc.

It would require that you use some sort of software that could take the shares and Concatenate them into one drive. There are a number of problems with this that I don't want to go into so the short answer is "NO"

You would have too hang them off of a hardware RAID controller and RAID0, RAID5, or JBOD them to make this happen.
