LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini--Home Edition Server Review

- Home servers are becoming more popular with families who want to store music, videos, and photos in a central location and share them inside and outside the home. I looked at LaCie's 500GB Ethernet Disk Mini--Home Edition server, and came away impressed enough to recommend it to anyone interested in taking the home-server plunge. It's not nearly as powerful as Hewlett-Packard's $700 MediaSmart Home Server, but at $210 the LaCie hardware lets you enjoy the core benefits of a home server without busting your budget.
