Need a BYOD IDE NAS for 4 drives

Hello,

I am having the hardest time finding a 4 drive NAS that supports IDE. The only one I can find is the Thecus N4000, but I can't find it available for sale anywhere.

Question: Do any of you have any recommendations for a product or solution?

The reason I'm looking for this is that I now have 4 extra 300GB IDE drives that are unused. They are unused because when I upgraded my server to a 64-bit OS, I couldn't find a reasonably priced IDE RAID controller that has 64 bit drivers. The consumer models only come in SATA, so I ended up going with a SATA RAID on my server with new drives and all.

I travel to lands far away that sometime have no Internet connectivity so I'm trying to find a smallish/portable solution that will give myself and several others access to a lot of data over a LAN.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the quick reply.

I couldn't find any stand alone NAS products on www.servercase.com

Also, I need something smaller than a rackmount form factor as it needs to fit in a pack or suitcase size container. A device more along the size and shape of the Snap 2200 or Thecus N4000 would be better.

The device must accompnay me and I often travel by air and some of the modes of travel I utilize are...um..tactical and don't have the room for a 19" wide device.

Any other suggestions or am I SOL?
Thanks again.

As long as the device is of the form factors I described, I can ensure that it is reasonably cushioned while traveling on rough transports.

The 4000 can run RAID5, which should match the bandwidth of the 10/100 network. The max size is 250gig x 4 = 750gig usable space. Raid 5 gives you speed along with data protection. He is more interested in data protection.

The Snap 2200 is a small foot print with raid 0 & 1. What I have, supports old mac's running 8.6 OS and up. Not a fast unit. Uses hardware raid, but only has a 4.8 Meg/sec speed.
