I just bought a Snap Server 2200 on eBay. It came with 2x80GB and I plan to upgrade it to a 2x500GB mirror. I have yet to buy the drives and I was hoping for a bit of guidance from you experts.

Has anyone else done this and if so can they recommend or slag off any particular drives please?

I have the following versions:-

Model Software Hardware Server # BIOS
2000 series 3.4.790 (UK) 2.0.4 814023 3.4.758

Will I need to upgrade anything before putting my drives in? If so, where does one go to? I've visited the Snap website and it seems to be almost closed.

Has anyone played around with the web server feature?

Is it possible to ssh or telnet into the box or is it only configureable via the web interface?

I bought the box for use with Slim Devices SlimServer music server software. I will NFS mount it on my Solaris Ultra-10 and also access it from various Macs and PCs around the house. I want to keep it on permanently and so wanted a low-power machine. With the current 80GB drives, it uses 33 Watts as opposed to my homemade RAID5 which uses 67 Watts.

Cheers!
Nick
