Calling it a $99 NAS is stretching the truth a bit.


I'm currently running an NSLU2 as a NAS and it works very well (can stream 1080p over a 802.11g network as long as nothing else is going on). This thing is way more powerful and has much more RAM. The only downside: no second USB plug for two powered drives set up as RAID1.



You could use a powered USB hub. Not sure what the throughput would be, though.


I could, but the whole point of this is that it's no cables. Adding a powered hub means having to plug it in. It's the kind of thing that is not a limitation until you try to use the device in a tight space with only one outlet.
