SNAP 4400/4500 FAMILY

For the 4400/4500 family, I am talking about the Snap 4400, 4200, 4500, and 15000, as well as the Snap Disk 10 expansions. These are older, more mature, 1U, 4 drive units of the GOS Snap family. These units still use the same GOS as the most current units, thus same capabilities from a software point.

Fortunately for many of us, these units were/are rock solid reliable units and yet are well within the reach of the average home or small office on a cost basis. These units are readily available for a decent price, and if you buy a good unit, are near as reliable today as they were the day they came off the assembly line. They have the full capabilities of the GOS and have Dual Gb LAN connections for fast data transfers. What more could you ask for in this discussion regarding a place for central localization of large amounts of data? It even supports all the newest operating systems for your desktops, notebooks, and even servers. Not to mention, full iSCSI support, which is becoming important to many people these days.

As a side note, the 4400 while not dead silent, is quiet enough for many people to operate in their living rooms if needed.

So, what’s the problem(s)? Read on…
