Thecus has eight- bay NAS

,----[ Quote ]
| The OS is a custom job, very likely Linux based, that looks very similar to
| every other media center out there. This is not to say it looks bad, it is
| just getting hard to tell one from another nowadays. You have to admit that a
| 3TB media center that is also your home NAS makes a lot of sense.

Fast five-drive NAS box fills more storage gaps

,----[ Quote ]
| Last up, one pat on the back to Thecus. All of their devices run Linux,
| and Thecus is being a very good corporate citizens about their use of
| GPL'd code. Normally, you only hear about people violating the GPL or
| have to search their site for a buried link to the source.
|
| With Thecus, the opposite is true. They put the code on their main
| page, usually right next to the firmware updates themselves. I actually
| saw the code before I realized what it was, quite an unusual situation.
| It was a case of me scratching my head wondering what the .GPL extension
| was before it dawned on me. Again well done.

You must be an even bigger idiot than I first thought if you watch TV that
much.

Yesterday I read about 5TB ones... from Fujitsu, IIRC.

I just have a couple of 0.3's. Mainly for backup purposes anyway.
