Hi

I am examining NAS as an alternative to Windows 2000 Server mainly because of licence restrictions on Windows 2000 Server. I currently have licences for 15 users but have up to 25 potential users of the database applications I have developed. By way of background the existing server traffic is fairly light with the exception of the VFP6 database applications which I intend to move to NAS. Existing servier drives are SCSI.

All the workstations access local exe's with local tmp files. Should I expect to find NAS (with presumably IDE drives) slower or faster than using the existing aerver?

Does anyone have any experience out there?

Thanks
