I've got a NAS but these things come with gigabit Ethernet and Marvel processors that will no way be able to cope with gigabit speeds!
Doing a Time Machine backup to NAS isn't fun, I can tell you. Particularly if you use VMs (which you can exclude, but why would you when it's an entire machine image eh?)
- mrsteveman1 12y agoHP's Microservers can cope with gigabit speeds and the AMD models are dirt cheap, both compared to poorly engineered "NAS" devices, and especially for what they can provide in terms of server level features. I've had the older N36L model, an AMD Athlon NEO II processor with 8GB ECC RAM running for years with ZFS handling a few big spinning drives for storage, it's been quite nice and trouble free.
