Ah, it's kinda similar but it's basically a Linux server so it can provide RAID if you want (or just disk) but it provides applications on top of it

so it's storage, a media server, a photo server, a UPnP server to your xbox, iTunes server, can run tons of apps like Wordpress, etc if you want. Has USB ports for expanding storage, eSATA, can be a print server for USB printers. Quite a bit of functionality

Could you put a tuner in it to have network DVR functionality? - spamlet May 11, 13:01 2
- i do that with my windows home server. - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 13:07
- You can run MythTV on it but I wouldn't recommend it. Mostly you'd use it as the storage location - oblique May 11, 13:03
