This may be a "duh" for most of you, but it seems some need to be told... Adaptec is not about the "home user" for most of it's Snap Server products. Sure there is the 110 and 220, but the fact is, even those are aimed at SOHO. Most businesses are not really interested in Servers powered with Pentium 233 MHz or below and PC100 SDRAM and 100baseT or less. Adaptec knows this. DUH!
Yes, I use my Snap Servers at home, and so a lot (if not most) of the people on this forum. BUT! You have to realize that Adaptec and the Snap Servers are aimed at enterprise environments. It is that simple.
Reality sucks, don't it... But that (among other things, like speed) is why I moved to Guardian units.

Thanks for your thoughts.
I'm understanding of where Adaptec might stand as well as the power of this hardware and product positioning.
As you say, there's a lot of the hardware out there and the most recent SnapOS makes it function slow but fine within it's limitations. Many posters come here for help and the community acts like it's a crack deal when it's discussed.
I'm not looking to debate what NAS is preferable to what market, or tell someone when they should trash hardware that works.
My question is simply to verify whether or not Adaptec has totally pulled the plug on the software.
