    Gigabit network card upgrades D-Link vs Netgear vs nothing

    I think you do not need GigE for the two older computers. My laptop, Sempron 3100+ (1.8 GHz), is on 40 to 45 % CPU utilization while transferring files over through the Gigabit net connection. ________ TOYOTA CALDINA

    NAS, backups, RAID0 and RAID1

    I have got a related question. What do you think is a good backup device/strategy these days? It is not possible to use DVDs, tapes are outdated and still not sufficient. It seems the only option is hard disks. But is a hard disk really a backup? I have had recently an incident. I...

    Wireless Setup for Bed and Breakfast

    Do you really need to protect the access points? May be it is completely OK in your case to have open access points, unless the service is paid. Then, there is nothing better than the cable. I would put a cable between the two buildings, if they are next to each other - either put it down, or...

    One router that does it all

    There are quite a lot of routers for the first three functions. None of these routers have more than 4 ports. You can select whatever ADSL+WiFi router, and add any cheap switch (10-15 euro, or 30 euro for gigabit). Its still only the router you have to configure. Example: Linksys WAG300N...

    Avoid Coolmax and the other cheap NAS clonings

    I tried to flash it via the web interface, it shown "updating" for 10 mins. I restarted it and now it is bricked, functions only as a USB enclosure. Well, it is not so much of a loss, the transfer speed is up to 27MB/sec, while on the net link it was only up to 2.5 MB /sec. Useful links for...

    Avoid Coolmax and the other cheap NAS clonings

    Here my bad experience with a cheap NAS. I made the mistake to buy NS-348S. It is the same as the reviewed here Coolmax CN-570, but in a different box. Well, it costs only 50 euro, but I regret the money. The device is complete crap, absolutely unreliable. May be it is because it has only 32...

    Do you power off your NAS when not in use?

    Which linkstation version do you have? Mine is LS Live, v.2, it has neither scheduled shutdown, nor spindown time. Or did you changed the software on it? ________ EXTREME VAPORIZER REVIEW
