The D-link dkt-401 router is about $45 at a local Menard’s (I was surprised). It immediately grabbed my interest because it comes with the USB dongle to network the computer to the router. Ordinarily routers and dongles come separately. The cheap dongles (and this is a slow 150, like the cheap ones are, such as the Belkin dongle) is in the $30+ range, with the better dongles around $60. Naturally this isn’t an issue for those (unlike me) with the wireless N etc built right into their notebooks and netbooks.
Anyway, anyone know anything about this router? It seems to have been on the market since 2007?
aside to Swordmaker: the 2 TB GoFlex is $119 and change at the warehouse club; the 500 GB is still the price I mentioned before. This is a tremendous deal, but the storage is far too large for people like me who don’t stream video. :’)
Get a Sans Towerraid and and eSATA card that comes with it for some models and use your extra SATA drives.
SANS DIGITAL Server RAID Systems
There is a 2 Bay Raid enclosure for 99$ :
SANS DIGITAL MS2UTN+B 2 Bay SATA to eSATA/USB 2.0 RAID 0 / 1 / SAFE33 / 50 Enclosure (Black)
Not good reviews on that one ...
Western Digital Elements 1.5TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive
Was: $119.99 Now: $89.99
Not a full 7200 ...Green drive I guess...also Be aware that this drive doesn't have eSATA .I think Seagate has a 3 TB drive for external...in the GoFlex.
