Anyone know of a good off-the-shelf NAS that supports NFS?
 

Hello folks.

I do not own a single windows box in this house (yaay!) and am looking at retiring my old IBM Netfinity storage box, as it's loud as all hell, and a bit of a power hog. I'd like to get a 1tb or so NAS box so I can put it away and not worry with it anymore. I keep looking all over the internet and I seem to be having a bit of trouble finding a solution that supports NFS.

Does anyone know of such a device? I'd prefer to not use an old PC, as I am trying to eliminate the massive footprint of all my machines. I just had a little one and I gotta get rid of all my massive dinosaurs...

Oh, and money is an object. Less is best, if I gotta build it myself, so be it, but I'd like something with a small footprint....... Nothing more than a power brick and a ethernet cable......



Thanks!

The netgear readynas duo is kind of nice (runs linux under the hood) and it allows you to put in larger drives as you need them, so you can get the smaller one (like the 500gb version) and slap 2 1TB drives in it to get a 1TB mirror (I don't think it supports jbod or striping). Has nfs and a ton of other streaming protocols and network filesystems and netgear even has a dev kit for it so you can create new apps for it if you want. It is a bit spendy though.
