Linksys NAS200 Network Attached Storage Enclosure
Now you can quickly and easily add storage space onto your network with the Linksys Network Storage System. This stand-alone network appliance features two available SATA hard drive bays so you can attach as much storage as you need now, and add more later as your storage needs grow. For even more expandability, there are two USB ports that let you connect readily available USB 2.0 hard drives for even more storage space -- or plug in a USB flash disk for a convenient way of accessing your portable data files.
Connecting the Storage System to your network is simple -- just plug it directly into an available 10/100 Ethernet port on your router or switch, and the storage is instantly accessible by your whole network.
The Network Storage System features built-in one-touch backup -- just push the button to start a backup of your important files. There are other built-in disk utilities, accessible through your web browser. You can run a self test or scan the disk(s) for errors. If you've installed a second disk drive, you can back up one drive to the other, either manually or on a schedule.
For even more flexibility and utility, the Network Storage System can be set up to be accessible directly from the Internet via a web browser or FTP. Files can be available publicly, or create password-protected accounts for your authorized users.
The Linksys Network Storage System is the expandable and accessible storage solution for your network.

I was all excited when I received this product and I thought that LINKSYS and CISCO are names that we can rely on. To my deception this product is very frustrating to set up especially if you want to set it up for use with a MEDIAGATE media player. I chat online with Linksys support that was not able to solve my issue and suggests that I paid for the support as it is connected to a third-party product (I just wonder what's the use of this product by itself?). I call the 24/7 support line and the person taking the call was not able to solve the issue neither and promised me that somebody will call me 15 minutes later to go thru the issue with me. Nobody called me after that. I finally found a way to get around the issue myself but still the performance is really, really slooooooow. If you are patient enough, go ahead buy the product, otherwise stay away from it. |

This has been a good reliable unit for the year I have had it - first with one drive and then with a second added. The only issue I have is with the speed - or should I say lack of speed. Copying as few as 5 or 6 gig from this unit to or from an internal hard drive takes hours (literally). When I need to copy or move files, I make sure to do it overnight. |
Easy setup, but slow performance.

I bought this NAS storage (because it fit my needs) with 2 650gb Western digital drives to get around the heat issue. I haven't had any excessive heat buildup, but I believe the NAS200 device itself does not produce heat, the drives do so be careful in drive selection.
The speed of the NAS is horrible, 1.8mb/sec at average and that tested copying large file systems (9gb).
I connect to it's file systems with: Windows using the drive mapping util; Centos 5.2 and Ubuntu Linux systems mounted as Windows shares.
The Linux systems only have an issue when returning from a suspended state, otherwise they read/write to the storage faster than Windows can.
I use one drive as a primary and one as a backup. I've written a Linux script to mount each file system on the primary drive and copy it's data to the 2nd drive. This run nightly and give me two drives that can be mounted on any Linux system with a USB/SATA adapter in case of a NAS200 failure.
So far the system has run without issue. |

Totally brutal product. Set up was fast and easy, but that's where it stops. Very loud fan. Transfer speed is horrible. The drives get so hot in this enclosure that you can't touch them - no doubt will lead to premature drive failure. Unit takes several minutes to boot up. I hated this product. A total waste of money. I returned it and exchanged it for a competing product. |

Handles 2 1TB drives without a problem. Takes about 16 hours to initialize the RAID 1 mirror at this size, but you can use it at this point. Has one small fan with exhaust on right side.
It must have a 16 MB cache because the first 16 MB of writing are fast, after that the speed drops down to less than 3 MB/s. Reading is about 4 MB/s. This is after the mirror has been built and utilizing a 2 GB test file. |

What You Should Know

What is RAID?
RAID is an acronym first defined back in 1987 to describe a redundant array of
inexpensive disks, a technology that allowed computer users to achieve high
levels of storage reliability from low-cost PC hard disk drives, via the
technique of arranging the devices into an array for fail-safe redundancy.
"RAID" is now used as an umbrella term for computer data storage schemes that
can divide and replicate data among multiple hard disk drives. The different
schemes/architectures are named by the word RAID followed by a number, as in
RAID 0, RAID 1, etc. RAID's various designs involve two key elements: increased
data reliability or increased input/output performance. When multiple physical
disks are set up to use RAID technology, they are said to be in a RAID array.
This array distributes data across multiple disks, but the array is seen by the
computer user and operating system as one single disk. RAID can be set up to
serve several different purposes.
Organizing disks into a redundant array decreases the total usable storage
capacity. For instance, a 2-disk RAID 1 array loses half of the total capacity
that would have otherwise been available using both disks independently, and a
RAID 5 array with several disks loses the capacity of one whole disk. Other
types of RAID arrays are arranged so that they are faster to write to and read
from than a single disk.
There are various combinations of these
configurations giving different trade-offs and benefits of protection against
data loss, capacity, and speed. RAID levels 0, 1, and 5 are the most commonly
found, and cover most of the typical requirements.
- RAID 0 (striped disks) distributes data
across several disks in a way that gives improved speed at any given instant. If
one disk fails, however, all of the data on the array will be lost, as there is
neither parity nor mirroring.
- RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the
disks, making a 1:1 (1 to 1) ratio real-time backup. The contents of each disk
in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array.
- RAID 3 uses a striped set with
dedicated parity or bit interleaved parity or byte level parity. This
mechanism provides fault tolerance similar to RAID 5. However, because the strip
across the disks is a lot smaller than a file system block, reads and writes to
the array perform like a single drive with a high linear write performance. If
one drive fails, the performance doesn't change.
- RAID 5 (striped disks with parity)
combines three or more disks in a way that protects against data loss of any one
disk. The storage capacity of the array is reduced by the capacity of the one
disk (all disks are of equal size).
- RAID 6 (striped disks with dual parity)
can recover from the loss of two disks.
- RAID 10 (or 1+0) uses both striping and
mirroring. ("01" or "0+1" is sometimes distinguished from "10" or "1+0": a
striped set of mirrored subsets and a mirrored set of striped subsets are both
valid, but distinct, configurations.)
