We're on the road this week, so things may be a bit slow on SmallNetBuilder. But thought I'd share this food for thought.

Been thinking about going for a 2.5" NAS? We found that at least you don't have to worry about sacrificing performance.

You probably don't need 1,000 Terabytes sitting on your LAN. But understanding how one company set out to build their own storage module for a tenth of what vendors charge may help you in your next NAS build.

Due to popular demand, we have added eight new NAS Charts. You can now easily compare attached backup and iSCSI Target performance for products that support those features.

There has been long-running discussion both in the SNB Forums and directly with readers about the use of cached performance data in our NAS Charts. So we have introduced a new feature that we hope will help make the Charts more straightforward to use.

Should you pay any attention to the qualified drive list for your NAS? It's a question of risk management.

The best source of consumer networking product performance information on the Web just got better. We have now added Price vs. Performance Charts for Router, NAS and Wireless products.

Once again, we put two popular low-cost processors to the test to see which is better for building a low-cost, but high-performance NAS.

We put NASes using these two low-cost CPUs to the test and found similar performance.

To really understand NAS performance, you have to look end to end.
