Hi all,

I'm trying to find, if possibile, a low end NAS (such as LACiE ethernet
disk 1TB) with NFS support.

Anyone can tell me a name?


Thanks
Stefano

If you're comfortable with Linux, you could just roll your own.   That
way, it supports whatever features you want (RAID, NFS, SMB, Gigabit,
etc...)

As Will mentioned you could easily roll your own.  You can create a
1TB usable NAS server with about 2 drives, 3 or 4 if you want
redundancy.

And because you're using a full OS you can make it do whatever you
want.

Total cost for the system could be under US$1k.

Check out these guys, I have there midrange 4TB system, has a very easy to u
se user-friendly web based GUI.

You want to look at their Mid-Range SMB solution; it has NFS, FTP, SMB/CIFS,
 Apple Talk, Secure FTP support.  Works great for us because we have designe
rs that I can assign them their own partition to.

Sure with Linux,

but using a 2U rackmount, sata raid controller (Linux supported) and 4
sata 250Gb HDD with RAID5 support....

less than 1K$ ?

Nowhere did the poster say anything about uptime or performance
requirements, simply the capability.  The posters requirements can be
met for under $1k, just not like you described.
