BTS List - That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...

From:I had the original Netgear SC101. Ig to it on a black Friday sale and it was good, but I found out several things... A) it wasn't Mac friendly. I sent E-Mails to support and when I talked about Mac support, the guy tried to tell me what a MAC address was. Idiot. Secondly, NO WHERE ON THE BOX did it say what the speed of the ethernet port was. Now I was running GBE at home for years, but I was hoping I'd get that. Well it is 100mbit which might have been fine, but it NEVER got close to that, why? it was 100mbit HALF DUPLEX (meaning unlike new yorkers, it could only talk or listen at the same time, not both.)
Next I set up partitions, and you could set them up via incoming IP. which uhm not good. means you needed their Netgear client on each PC that wanted to access the NAS, (which goes against calling it a NAS, but I'll get back to that later) I found that partitions couldn't be SHARED. if you partitioned it out so on a 500 gig partition you could have 1 200 GB private space, and 1 300GB space, there was no option for making it communal. Ugh. Private or nothing. I got around it by making it 1 huge partition and then mapping it on the PC to share it out to the macs on the network. That works, but it was slow as a file had to have a PC in the hop, so it was Mac--PC--NAS and NAS-PC-MAC, totally NOT efficient use of network resources and of course there was a SECOND performance hit.
Now, I said you had to install software, and what it did was install a zetaware iSCSI driver. and I was like Wha??? that means it's not actually a NAS, but a SAN (which can be cool in it's own right) but totally not what was advertised. And not fully a SAN, since it didn't have any of the real SAN abilities. Oy!
Hence ever since the great exodus out of albany, the device has just sat there collecting dust. I've tried giving it away on SEVERAL occasions, but it's PATA (and no one needs a device that can only do PATA) and it's got a slow network connection. *sigh* I constantly over the years I used it participated in Netgear's feedback, and would like to think some of their improvements on their products were due to my suggestions. I run a total netgear shop here at home, with 4 devices from WAP's and Routers and VPN boxen, and my 8 port GBE switch (wish I could afford the layer 3 model but **cries** not in the budget))
I strongly suggest people make their own boxen if they have ANY intiative to do so. If you want to stay out of the tinkering part, then the Stora is fantastic, but there are things out there like "FreeNAS" that you can take an OLD PC, put in 1 or more FAST ethernet cards in it, and cram it full of as many hard drives as you have and configure it whatever suits you best. FreeNAS is great, it's simple, feature RICH, and as the name implies, Free. Shameless Plug www.freenas.org
If ANYONE on my F-Lists or yours has questions or thoughts, feel free to contact me. I <3 Storage. It's kinda my thang.
Naturally I had a PC in the livingroom and I
