If the Snap Server 4100 experiences a hard drive failure, though, the unit must be powered down and opened to replace the failed drive. The Snap Server 4100 lagged behind the Dell workgroup file server tested for comparison at PC Labs. Security levels for local users and groups can be assigned, and the Snap Server 4100 supports security permissions down to the file and directory levels. It also integrates with Apple, HTTP, Microsoft Windows NT, NFS servers, and NetWare domains using pass-through authentication. We were able to import several users and groups from our existing Windows 2000 domain.
Administrators can assign and manage disk quotas down to the individual-user level.
Web services can be enabled, allowing users to access shared folders on the Snap Server 4100 via a browser. ZDNet and ZDNet logo are registered trademarks of ZD Inc.
