Metku have reviewed the SilverStone DataCenter DC01 network storage device, which has the potential to be an excellent little home server.

Let's see what they had to say:

"Overall the Silverstone DC01 is an impressive device; it packs a LOT of features in very compatible and good looking case, uses very little electricity while doing it and even comes with a reasonable price tag. With its graphical UI it's very easy to set up and a pleasure to use, and is really geared more towards a personal server rather than a heavy duty storage server. This also shows in the selection of the hard drive, a 2,5" drive helps with the size and power usage, but will never offer as much storage space as a 3,5" drive.

Performance-wise the DC01 is pretty much what you'd expect from such a device, it's faster than some similar devices we've reviewed, but is never going to compete with purpose-built storage servers."


This seems like a a very capable little device for the money. At $100, it's much cheaper than a conventional NAS like the QNAP TS-112, but overall experience likely won't be quite as polished.
