Helios Odyssey: storage unit with torrent support

Helios Odyssey is capable of handling 1TB internal storage (via hard drives that one can build in) and has 3 USB ports and the firmware supports torrent downloads (and Emule, but who cares for that Smiling). Unfortunately there's no RAID option, but for torrents one does not really need RAID. Smiling

FreeNAS

FreeNAS sounds like the perfect tool for a home storage+download server. Smiling Since it's based on m0n0wall (which is written in PHP) I suppose I could install TorrentFlux into it. So here's the deal: get a low-power x86 system (eg. a thin client or some embedded, all-in-one motherboard in a small case) and plug some external HDD(s) into it, install FreeNAS and TorrentFlux and you've got a decent file and torrent server for home. Smiling

Western Digital My Book Pro Edition II

Today DHL delivered my new Western Digital My Book Pro II external storage. Smiling My first impression was that this was made as a perfect companion for a MacBook Pro ... just take a look at it and say that it was not designed to look nice beside a Mac. Smiling

Holografikus adattárolás

A HWSW cikke szerint akár 50 éves élettartalmú is lehet egy-egy holografikus lemez .... nyamm. Smiling Végre nem kell pár évenként újraírni az összes anyagomat ... bár eltart még egy jó darabig, mire a holografikus tárlóeszközök az otthonokba kerülnek.
