I've bought one of these too (but it's still in its box). It sounds
much more suitable for the task at hand; while you *can* attach USB
storage to little things like GuruPlugs, I can't really think of
that as a file server.

I prefer my data to be on RAID filesystems on something much closer
to a real server, and the microserver fits the bill nicely.

Cheers,
Andy
