A new twist on RAID…

If you’re in the market for a home NAS or SAN, you might want to give unRAID a look.  It’s a Digital Media Storage Solution created by Lime-Tech, that features a unique set of abilities.

Some of the abilites include:

 

  • Any combination of IDE and SATA hard drives may be used.
  • All the hard drives do not need to be the same size or speed.
  • Hard drives not being accessed may be spun down.
  • Can rebuild any single failed hard drive.
  •  

    And, true incremental storage.

     

    Everything is run from a usb flash drive, as all of your hard drives are used for storage.  It’s largely hardware-independant, and compatible with windows networks.  All of it’s storage can be accessed by using “Disk Shares” which you can find in your “My Network Places”.
