    keird writes "I'm sure you all remember Belluzzo being pushed out of Microsoft earlier this year. ComputerWorld has a short, but interesting interview with him where he talks about why his new employer, Quantum uses Linux in their appliances." From reading the interview, Belluzzo seems to be pretty amicable to whatever will get the job done, and in this case, it's Linux.

  2. Low Cost Network Attached Storage?

    leperjuice asks: "I've been looking at options for Network Attached Storage for my home network. I can't run a single machine as a file server, and a NAS box sounds like an ideal solution. The problem is that the products are targeted at the business market, and the only item that comes close to a SOHO level is Quantum's Snap Server and those are still somewhat pricy and non-upgradeable (you can't buy a new drive and slap it in). Are there network attached SCSI/IDE enclosures, for example? Or am I stuck with having to transform a crappy box into a server? "

    IcePick writes " Solid State Hard Drives made by Quantum. Installs and is recognized as a regular hard drive. Has a seek time of under 60 micro-seconds. Imagine using it as a swap disk for Windoze or other programs that need swap files. Some versions are even Non-Volatile! I wonder why Quantum has been so quiet about them? "
