wondering if anyone has played with one of their newer NAS devices for<br>
use as a standalone backend?<br>
<br>
I know commercial flagging may be a tough call on one, but with so<br>
many recording devices these days being either ethernet or USB, and so<br>
many posting about successful running of a backend on some of the<br>
newer low powered machines, it would seem one of these might be up to<br>
the task as well?<br>
<br>
They're not super cheap, but they are reasonably priced without drives<br>
and very well constructed. They also run MySQL out of the box it<br>
seems, which is one less battle.<br>
<br>
thoughts?<br>
