Given that in the other thread we were talking about NAS...
My own NAS RAID (made by Lacie) unit is old. Were it just old it wouldn't be a big issue since it's still large enough for my needs, but unfortunately, as Mac OSes went on, I first lost the capability to access it as an AFS filesystem (there is a firmware patch for that, but it just can't be applied) and then it became slower and slower... (it exposes an Ethernet interface, so I really can't understand why it is so slow, but nothing that I tried to fix it worked). Now it's becoming a showstopper, because even incremental backups with rsync require many hours. This means that I'm using it less and less frequently (ok, I do have other simpler disk units as targets). So, even though I'd rather spend money for a new lens, I think this year I'll have to buy a newer unit. My problem is that I didn't keep up to date with NAS manufacturers, I see lots of names, but I can't understand which are the reliable ones...
Suggestions?
