[clug] Rev Drives Anyone?

[Tom.Minchin at csiro.au]

I got one of those LinkSys NSLU2's with two USB2 hard disks = instant
Network Attached Storage. For $450, I have 80gig of storage which backs
itself up once a night.

The Linksys runs Linux - and can be modified (you can also overclock it
with a pocket knife).

The drives run an ext3 filesystem so if the NSLU2 fails, you can plug
them into your Linux system directly (or into a Windows system with
ExploreFS).

As another option, try purchasing a caddy and HDD for half the price. If
price is an issue.
