(moving to dba-Tech) yes, Gustav, that will probably be the best solution. In fact I have started plannig such a box some days ago. It should be able to even wake that box up from any PC with WakeOnLan. I guess multiple wakeups wont hurt. And since I will use only SATA drives, it will be easy to plug them into any other PC in case of HW or SW problems of this box. BTW, this is the reason I dropped the idea of the NASlite box, as the file system is not compatible.

Or, of course, use the new and evolving solid state hard"drives" ... /gustav >>> lembit.dbamail at t-online.de 23-05-2007 10:45 >>> thank you, Gustav, I'm more worried about the lifetime of the HDs than the power consumption.

To care for power consumption you may choose to equip it with 2½" harddrives. /gustav >>> lembit.dbamail at t-online.de 22-05-2007 17:23 >>> I could put all the data on the NAS, but then I would have to turn the NAS on each time I turn the PC on, .. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- No virus found in this incoming message.
