Take the 2-minute tour ×  We are currently in the process of
upgrading our office server. Our current setup is a Snap Server
410 but we are looking to take a massive step forward in terms
of speed.  We are a design studio and all our computers are Macs
(about 20 of them) which brings me to my question, what
advantages would we get switching to an OS X server, SNAP offer
a high grade server 'Snap Server 650'
http://www.overlandstorage.com/US/products/ss650.html which is a
far cheaper option but would it compare to the OS X server?
Thanks Tom  share|improve this question  2 Answers 2  Take a

certainly wouldn't advise you to buy one, it's very much a case

Servers we bought.  Ultimately if all you want is a NAS then I'd
advise buying a NetApp. A FAS2020 model would probably be
adequate for your needs. If all
