That's how i-Store 607 looks from the muzzle


And so back


This is the Web interface.


This wonderful device has a capacity of 2 hard drives and serves as an excellent network storage.

I use it as a torrent client, while it is 24/7 in distribution.

By default, it has btorrent + an absolutely stupid and uncomfortable web snout, a bug was also detected, after the reboot all the distributions disappear, which is a wild inconvenience for those who would like to use it for p2p file sharing sites.

More information about its technical side can be found on the official website.

Its cost ranges from 4 to 5 kilorubles, which is quite a low price for such devices.

A detailed overview of the iS607 can be read on hardwareportal.ru
Copy-paste did not, because “ Habr is not a place for copy-paste ” (c) rules, and I don’t like it either.

The most important because of what I decided to write this article in this happiness is the Linux kernel and the BusyBox package.

You just need to install the Optware package, which includes all the necessary software for managing packages (including all dependencies) and we can already install various software with a straightforward command:
ipkg install PACKAGE_NAME , of course, before this, it is advisable to make an ipkg update , and if you have just installed the Optware package, then also do not forget the ipkg upgrade .

Here is an article describing the process of installing the Optware package on the iS607 .

As a torrent client, I would advise you to install Transmisson:

• convenient web muzzle to manage
• There is a GUI software for Windows, Mac, Lin for remote control.
• after reboot NASa everything is fine and the distribution continues.

As a result, I can say that with such a price and functionality, i-Store 607 is an excellent choice for home and small organizations.

PS: maybe I, of course, as an editor, and not really, but just wanted to share my feelings on this mini-miracle.
PPS: Please write here in the comments what is wrong in this post, what is missing, and what is superfluous, just my 1st post and I still feel not very confident.
