**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jun 30 02:59:56 2008 Jun 30 16:58:06 hi Jun 30 16:58:12 I have a couple of questions Jun 30 16:58:35 I want to buy a nas to use for ssh, torrent, http server, ftp server, nfs server etc Jun 30 16:58:52 I am not sure if I should get the nslu2 or the dlink dn-313 Jun 30 16:59:09 can u point out why th elinksys product is better than the dlink Jun 30 16:59:39 I'm not really familiar at all with the dlink thing Jun 30 17:00:01 but with the linksys you have many different choices of firmware that can let you do all the stuff you want Jun 30 17:00:04 and a lot, lot, more Jun 30 17:00:20 that is a good point Jun 30 17:00:36 I would -highly- recommend the nslu2 Jun 30 17:00:38 how does sata150 and usb 2.0 compare on a NAS really Jun 30 17:00:56 dns-323, right? Jun 30 17:00:57 cause dns313 is sata150 Jun 30 17:01:15 313 the 1 sata disk version Jun 30 17:01:17 you will not notice any difference Jun 30 17:01:22 because of the latency of your network Jun 30 17:01:30 yeah thought so Jun 30 17:01:44 so that is really a non-factor Jun 30 17:01:52 I like the linksys product because u can also add usb hubs and bluetotooh etc etc Jun 30 17:02:00 how much RAM does dns313 have? Jun 30 17:02:03 printers, cameras, and more Jun 30 17:02:09 32 mb if i am not wrong Jun 30 17:02:25 I can't even find anything on the dns313 Jun 30 17:02:30 got a similar processor speed as the limnksys Jun 30 17:02:43 oh, wait, nevermind, I forgot the s in dns in my search Jun 30 17:02:52 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134995 Jun 30 17:03:14 http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/archive/index.php/t-1964484.html Jun 30 17:03:17 for some hacks Jun 30 17:03:35 yea, I would go with the nslu2 Jun 30 17:03:49 pretty much the same, and I have a feeling you can do a lot more with the nslu2 Jun 30 17:03:50 and its cheaper Jun 30 17:04:03 slightly cheaper Jun 30 17:04:20 i need to buy a case for the disk drive which is about 12 pound Jun 30 17:04:34 so roughly same prices ofr the final product Jun 30 17:04:52 what Firmware u suggest Jun 30 17:05:04 are there any 3rd party firmwares for the dns313 Jun 30 17:05:51 and you can get the nslu2 for about $40 USD and the enclosure for like $5 usd on ebay Jun 30 17:06:01 I use SlugOS/BE Jun 30 17:06:17 there is something called funplug for the dns Jun 30 17:06:18 if you are not familiar with linux commands and such though, unslung is a better choice Jun 30 17:06:27 i know a little bit of linux Jun 30 17:07:15 unslung works out of the box, and you really need to know little to nothing of linux commands Jun 30 17:07:32 SlugOS/BE works better, but does not really do anything out of the box Jun 30 17:07:52 things run better, and you get a slight file transfer speed increase Jun 30 17:07:54 over unslung Jun 30 17:08:07 plus more hardware is supported Jun 30 17:08:55 all sounds cool Jun 30 17:09:04 just need to check if i should get it brand new Jun 30 17:45:28 dns313 forum here http://forum.dsmg600.info/f9-DNS-313-General-Discussion.html Jun 30 17:52:58 cpuinfo and meminfo for dns-313 http://www.shadowandy.net/2008/06/dns-313-specifications.htm Jun 30 19:39:18 eno: ping **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jul 01 02:59:56 2008
