I live in Bangladesh. We don't get much variety in the way of hardware over here. I tend to buy when I go to Malaysia. The D-Link 323 caught my eye, as one of the available NAS in Malaysia (Low Yat Plaza is ground zero for computer hardware purchases in Kuala Lumpur).
I have read quite a few reviews, some positive, some negative. I like the fact that some Linux hackers have created software to utilise the device as a server in various ways. Sounds interesting. I see that in/output is pretty slow, so I guess that a slower drive will be more than adequate. Low power is probably a bonus in the small (hot) housing.
These are the drives I can find online (in Low Yat plaza). Limited information, as you can see. I can't find the drive IDs, just these descriptions. What do you think I should get? The MYR is the Malaysian Ringit price. 500 MYR is 163.77 USD.
