RE: Slug (was: Do we all use more electricity?)

["mark" <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The NSLU-2 was ?46 +VAT.
The DS-101 difference is that it has an internal IDE connector for one hard
drive.
The Slug only supports external USB Hard-Drives.

You do get external USB ports on the DS-101 for external hard drives too.
Plus you can also attach a USB printer.

Most other features are the same.
Unless the print-server feature is important, I'd still stick with the
Slug.
Also, the fact there is a hacker-community for the Slug means that there
are
many other things that the Slug can now do.  The media-server concept was a
great bonus.

Cheers,
Mark

There's also the Synology Disk Station DS-101
(http://www.synology.com/enu/products/diskstation/index.php?page=ds-101&co
nt
ent=overview&current_sub_link=1), but it seems twice the price.  Is it
identical?

... The Linksys NSLU-2 (or slug, as most people call it) is a tiny linux
machine the size of a DAT tape that connects
two USB2 external hard disks to your ethernet network.   I have now bought
three of them, and connected 6 x 200GB external drives to them.   I
already
had some of the hard drives and the external enclosures are only ?18 from
ebuyer.
