    Users / User Groups in a NAS

    Our DS411+ came in the other day and is for the most part up and running (woo!) and in configuration it has the user / user group option. I know in the grand scheme of things how it could be applied but is it really necessary to configure for a small office? Our current set-up (some info here)...

    Server or Nas for 10-person Architectural Firm

    Ordered a DS411+ with 2-2TB drives yesterday. Hopefully the set-up process goes well. For the time being a server isn't really an option but I'll keep trying. Baby steps right? Thanks for all the help! I'm sure I'll have more questions once everything is up and running.

    Number of network jacks

    I keep seeing NAS boxes with multiple ethernet jacks onboard and being new to the NAS world the purpose escapes me. What does having 2 jacks do and what are the benefits? I tried to find something about it on the SNB site but couldn't find anything. thanks

    Server or Nas for 10-person Architectural Firm

    When you say "performance you are going to want" that essentialy relates to how quickly the NAS / Server can access and process information in the files and relay it to the client or is there more to it? I know disk speed and connection (SATA / IDE etc) affects that - I'd guess the NAS...

    Server or Nas for 10-person Architectural Firm

    That is the unfortunate conclusion I came to a while ago... We went through 4 or 5 of those MyBook drives (our daily & full backups at the time) before he bought something else. On the upside those Synology systems look pretty sweet. I might have to get one for myself! ;)

    Home Network: Content Filtering by MAC Address (or internal IP?)

    You can edit the hosts file on the target PC's. It is an obscure enough change that kiddo's probably won't stumble across it.

    Server or Nas for 10-person Architectural Firm

    Unfortunately you are both preaching to the choir... Like they say, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. I however am not an IT specialist, I'm an architect that dabbles with computers and as a result am the "IT Department" here. I do appreciate the feedback however...

    Server or Nas for 10-person Architectural Firm

    After reading a bit on various networked storage options (NAS / Server) I'm not quite sure what would be the best option or if I am even approaching the issue correctly. I did read the sticky and the SOHO'S Don't Raid article but I guess I'm slow, or more likely just out of touch with such...
