<br>
In the office, we run a mix of the following as fileservers;<br>
2 x HP Proliant ML115 - 2TB total - running openfiler<br>
2 x HP Proliant DL380G5 - 8TB Total - Running openfiler enterprise<br>
1 x HP Proliant DL360S - 6TB Total - Win 2k3 Storage Server (not my
choice!!)<br>
<br>
In general, you can pick up the ML115's for a fairly small amount of
money, and add SATA hdd's yourself, a 2TB system shoudnt cost more than
£400 (this is of course assuming you are ok with using software raid,
and that 1 PSU failure would take the server out of action)<br>
<br>
If you arent comfortable with the PSU failing, youd need redundant
PSU's, which will push up the type of server you require.<br>
<br>
If you need any more info, give me a shout.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps!<br>

recommendation for file server running (of course) Linux and Samba<br>
for small office, about 20 users?<br>
What about Dell PowerEdge 840 Intel Core 2 Duo E4700, 4GB RAM, 500GB<br>
HDD. Good enough? Too good? Any other spec recommended?<br>
