MinimServer and Fidata NAS

[misl]

Hi Simon,

I temporarily live in Japan and am tempted by a Melco (here called Dela) NAS, probably a HDD based HA-N1 ZH30/2, now in its fresh second generation. There is another brand here in Japan - Fidata, in fact an IO data venture, which makes very similar products to Melco. I have yet to do some comparisons for myself as what was published in the Japanese press is pretty inconclusive. Fidata's HFAS1 S10 is SSD (1TB) based and is in fact cheaper than Melco's HA-N1 ZH30/2 (3TB HDD) and half price against the HA-N1 ZS20/2 (2TB SSD). I was surprised by the fact that Melco's pricing in Europe and US is extremely reasonable, less than here, whereas Fidata's price tags in Europe are really stratospheric in comparison. Do you think there is a chance that MinimServer could be used on Fidata's components in future?
