Yeah, the inexpensive NAS servers are showing up everywhere.

The big caveat is that you now have two points of backup which is the
only potential drawback.

Speed of access hasn't been much of an issue, especially on a gigabit
switch.

Also, we support storing docs in the IFS or on ANY Windows or Linux
server/NAS/SAN. More and more people are opting to store the database
and indexes in DB2/400 on the iSeries and store the actual documents
on less-expensive disk.

This is a really good point, Richard. Since you can pick up a gigabit
Ethernet server with a terabyte RAID and hot swap for under $1000, it
really begins to make sense to use cheap disk for static information.
