I've been running an FTP server for some years but its time to simplify it down to a single small NAS-driven HDD enclosed system. I've been looking at this replacement:

Buffalo LinkStation Pro Shared Network Storage LS-320GL - NAS - 320 GB
- Serial ATA-150 - HD 320 GB x 1 - Gigabit Ethernet (LS-320GL)

Its garnished some modest reviews but what concerns me is that it seems to have a medium failure rate + it cannot be formatted to NTFS. WTF?!?!? So I come to the gracious HardForum community for advice.

This is what I am looking for in network storage:

- Reliable
- Minimum 250gb internal HDD
- Quiet
- Works with NTFS (so I can easily go to it to make file changes rather than being restricted by its own software).
- Decently-featured FTP Server (anything approaching the configurability of Serv-U FTP would be awesome)
- Easily adapts to dyndns.org (my current FTP runs off a name and NOT as an IP) so this is a critical consideration

Do I ask for too much? Anyone have any advice on this? I need something very soon.

Thanks all!

I was looking for a NAS myself some time ago, I decided to build a computer with RAID instead running Linux (Debian).

But of course it depends on how much space you need, I was looking for 2TB's minimum and a NAS with RAID and good performance (as in: some sort of integrated CPU) was too damn expensive IMHO. Ended cheaper building the PC.



Behold his GLORY! Bow for the technical master!
