Default Re: New User New Machine Probably Old Questions

Others have talked about 500 gig drives. But no report of some one actually doing it. Your OS does need to be upgraded to 3.4.805 or greater to have LBA48bit support.

The OS is stored on the HD so you will need to copy the boot tracks from your original dirves to the new ones. Or kick it into raid 1 and fail one drive trick.

The snaps do not like EIDE drives, by Maxtor and WD. I use Seagates (5yr warranty) or Hitachi drives. Where Sam uses WD. The Samsung are quite, but they are the slowest out there.

As far as telenet. To the best of my knowledge it is turned off.

These units were designed to be web servers so setup should be relative easy. Most users use them for external data storage.

Do you need a admin manual, check out the wiki section. I think there is a link to retrive them, if not notify me and I will send you a starter pack.

If you need more control and full access to everything check out the FreeNAS post on the other section. It looking good.
