Flexible Data Storage Across Networks: iSCSI put to the Test - SANmelody
(Dr Tom's Hardware Guide and Test Reports, Feb 4, 2005)
DataCore offered good performance paired with easy handling. SANMelody does offer the advantage that it can be used on nearly any (current) system with at least 512MB of RAM. Another positive aspect is that DataCore doesn't require the use of a Windows Server - meaning that Windows XP can be used just as easily. The only prerequisite is that the .NET framework be installed.

Businesses faced with shrinking server-disk capacity have few options.
