Hi!

I'm looking for an embedded and cheap 500GB RAID1 NAS solution for a
small office. I've narrowed the choice to these two:

LaCie 2Big 1TB
and
Iomega 1TB Network HardDrive

But I am worried with the transfer rate these solutions provide. I
intend to run them on a 100Base-T netowrk and expect a throughput of
some 10Mb/s (that's megabytes). Will these devices provide me with
that?

you might actually be better off with a spare windows machine and two
500GB disks for the data.

Software raid under windows is actually pretty robust, plus you can
actually add a tape drive and do backups, which is always a good idea.
