    most suitable hard drives for 211j

    I got the 211j. And two green drives from WDC. $80 :( But working great so far. Not really used for anything yet. Will use it for squeezebox server. Hopefully it will work.

    most suitable hard drives for 211j

Green is $80, others are more than $100, so I guess I will stick with green. Thanks for the advice and taking the time. Will report here if I have problems.

    Gigabit speed question

    @msl: i am also interested in this answer. just to confirm - you are saying that gigabit devices connected to gigabit switch should be able to talk to each other at gigabit speeds. the should is missing in your reply and left me 10% uncertain of the answer :)
