Fair enough. But even if the Synologys were equipped with a 1.8GHz Atom CPU like some of the Qnap x59+ models, processor power would still be lower than the AMD on the Microserver.

BTW, the AMD N36L CPU on the Microserver is a x64.

i believe atom D5xx series is in-order x86-64 while n36l which is athlon II neo is out-of-order x86-64

again is entirely different class

Pardon my ignorance. Can you explain a little bit more or point to website that explains this?

i want to ask about nas.. does it perform as like usb drive where if i want to edit my work i can open it directly and save it directly?

yes if you

1) map as network drive
or
2) use iSCSI to create a virtual drive iSCSI feature
or
3) use WebDAV to use as NetDrive more info about netdrive

yes.. if you connect it via SMB or windows file sharing... it will looks like any other windows explorer

lets say i want to create a database using access, can i host it and the nas and all the pc can connect to the nas and access the system?

yup.. from my experience.. it works best via mapped drives (SMB)

you just need to install access runtime on the client machines and point a path to your accessfile

but for iscsi, webdav never try b4

i think this is sufficient for my use http://buffalotech.com/products/network-st...o-duo-ls-wvlr1/. is this nas good? any body use this before?

Anyone using BUFFALO NAS here? LS-WXL series

Is the Pro already available? I use the older non Pro version;

I'm quite satisfied with the price paid. The performance is not bad and quite responsive. Of course not as responsive as Microserver. Accessing files on the Microserver feels as if the storage is on the same PC !

dunno got stock or not.. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1005120&hl=nas

Are you using LS-WXL? Do you have problems on finding the NAS? I can only found it some times, most of the time search not found.

DS211, 211j and 111 is here

Hello,
Anyone here knows how to turn a Synology DS410 into a SOCKS Proxy server? Do Synology has an installation module for that feature?

here have some info @ synology forum

Guys,

Interesting read on the HP Microserver! I am wondering whether what are the pros and cons of HP Microserver vs. say a dedicated NAS like Synology or QNAP? AFAIK, dedicated NAS are pretty simple to operate and most operation (download, BT) are automated.

Any link on the specs?

I think that question basically boils down to you... Do you know how to setup your own PC for BT and simple file sharing? If you can, the Microserver should be straight forward. Installing a copy of Windows Home Server would be most simple.

Anyway, a more detailed specs of the Microserver can be found here;
