  • Excerpt: I have owned an NSLU2 Storage Unit for about 1 year now. I used it out of the box as standard for about 2 months before deciding to hack it.
  • Pros: Low cost, small size, low-power consumption. Very hackable for those of you who like to get more out of your toys.
  • Cons: Cabling can become a bit of a rats nest. Requires an external USB harddrive.
