I do have a larger 4500 when I need the big guns for speed. Just remember that the SnapOS does not fully support the newer OS's.
The 2200 is doing well serving our music and pictures over the network, I would like to use it more to back up program install files and documents which I do not currently have the space to do.

Speedwise, I currently have a 100 megabit network and it seems to keep up. When we move, I would like to (at some point) go to Gigabit. If I build the *nix server I have been thinking of, it will have gigabit on it.

Are there any issues with using SATA-IDE adapters on a Snap server? I would like to have SATA drives in the server (if I build it) and have thought of getting SATA drives with SATA-IDE adapters for the time being. It would also make it easier to find big drives if I am not limited to IDE drives.
