The process of pulling all the data together, cross checking it for consistency and errors and making sense of it all reminds me of why I don’t do "round-ups" more often. And certainly not comparisons of six products that require so much testing! But I hope the results are worth it.

On another note, my thanks to those of you who have given some of your valuable time and taken our Site Survey. The results are used not only to try to better match advertisers to you, our audience, but some of the questions provide important feedback on our strengths and weaknesses, that I really do take to heart and act upon. If you haven’t taken the survey, please help SmallNetBuilder and take it and know that you have my sincere thanks.

The short story is that it is based on Windows Server 2003 R2 and has a "rich" admin GUI delivered to a Windows desktop and a not-so-fancy one for the riff-raff who choose to run another OS. Windows Server 2003 also powers some of Iomega's StorCenter Pro series NASes and they ain't cheap. And when Jim Buzbee looked at the StorCenter Pro NAS 200d/320GB with REV built-in, he found that some admin functions required dropping into Windows Remote Desktop.
