REVIEW

By Oliver Kaven

If you're looking for the most storage capacity you can get for your money, the Aberdeen AberNAS 211 is for you. It has double the capacity of the other products and doesn't cost much more. Powered by a Pentium 4 processor (as are all four products), the rack-mountable 211 provides enough horsepower to handle just about any task a small or medium-size business can throw at it—though it's not a speed demon with light client loads.
