This is a NAS but a small one. It is fitted with two 2.5in 500GB disks, making it about the same width and length as a regular 2.5in portable hard drive - about twice the height.

It connects via an Ethernet port - all three speeds available (10, 100 or 1000) and has a USB interface. No fan but it has air vents on 3 sides of the case. It can be configured Raid 0 (striped) or Raid 1 (mirrored). It also has an iTunes server, DNLA compliant media server and a print server.

It is easy to set-up using the out of the box software - current price around £300.

This is good for a laugh. If you have ever wondered what a web server thinks about, go to this address
Manic Web Server.
Then add anything after the address and enter. Your goal is to get the “404 page not found” message. Be prepared to read awhile the server rambles on a bit.
