I also want to copy imprtant files from windows and bsd boxes to it, as a long term backup storage solution. I could just build a nix box with a 3ware raid controller running samba, but not having done that before, I'm not sure how much work is in there. Maybe offer others storage as well. I'm envisioning a raid 5 box with 1.5 to 2 terabytes. I looked at http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/09/19/thecus_n4100_brings_storage_space_to_your_lan/, but changing the array size doesnt appear to be an easy process there. Bri Brian Brian
