separate and distinct machines, we knew we
couldn’t leave them as isolated silos. (Although
it is cool to have two functional operating systems in one PC—we could have done this by, say,
using a virtual machine.) But our real problem
was, how do you get the data from the left side
to the right side? A NAS unit. Thus we tapped
the best NAS unit from our May 2014 roundup to
serve as the intermediary between the two: the
QNAP TurboNAS TS-470. The QNAP packs a dual-core 2.6GHz Intel part and even has an option
to run a 10-gigabit ethernet card. Even handier,
the TurboNAS TS-470 fit neatly on the glass
shelf under the Red Harbinger Cross Desk.
