EC155 vs BAR32: Can anyone make a recommendation between the 2?

I emailed DeLonghi customer service about this very issue, and the response was as follows: ------------ Dear Valued Customer Thank you for contacting Delonghi Customer Service. The differences between the two models are as follows: EC155 * Adjustable steam emmision * color-Black and Stainless BAR32 * color- Black and Silver Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance Sincerely Delonghi Customer Service ------------ It appears there's a cup space difference and possibly some other minor differences, but the DeLonghi rep suggested the only notable difference was adjustable steam emission. Personally, I like the look of the BAR32 more, but I might go with the EC155 anyway for the adjustable steam.

I don't know, but go to the p15-d24 website, (DEPTCA) there is a forum and a cross reference

I priced single components and found just a little savings. Not having to worry about riser card and getting everything packaged in there nicely was why I decided to go with complete system as identified here. I ran Untangle in a VM on ESXi 5.0 without issue - currently running Sophos UTM Home in same configuration for well over a year without issue.

I considered doing this myself, as the Mini is built from OTS parts. I even purchased the identical case ($200). However, once I created a spreadsheet and entered all of the parts and prices (as best I could; still can't find a source for the exact DOM used in the Mini), the total came to within $30 of the iXsystems price for the diskless Mini. So, is that a fair price for a guaranteed-to-work, out-of-the-box solution? OTOH, if you don't build an exact duplicate, you *can* save some money. But, as Brian L. Bailey pointed out, it comes down to the value you place on your time and data. In any case, whether you buy the diskless Mini or roll your own, be sure to use at least 8GB ECC memory (the Mini has two 8GB ECC DIMMs; ECC should be a ZFS requirement) and server-grade disk drives (Western Digital Red drives are highly recommended), neither of which is as cheap as consumer-grade hardware. Note that FreeNAS requires 8GB base memory plus 1GB per TB of disk space. (See my other answer for Amazon ASINs for DIMMs and Disk drives.) Bottom line: If you value your data, don't scrimp on the hardware. See the FreeNAS web site and forums, such as the thread about "So you want some hardware recommendations?" for more information. On the forum, there are numerous postings by folks who did not adhere to the minimum hardware recommendations for FreeNAS and ZFS and lost all of their data - don't become one of them. Since you still need to back up your data, and backing up, say 6 or 12TB, is no trivial task, I may go ahead and build a second unit using identical parts and locate it in a relative's home. This would help protect our family's data from fire, theft, vandalism, or other disaster.

Previous to this I was using a terastation by buffalo. The disk station is a marked improvement over the terastation in transfer performance. I can't tell you a specific transfer rate off the top of my head but it should be only limited by the throughput of the wireless access point which would in this case be the bottleneck. On wired connections I get better than usb2 transfer rates.Good purchase. I found no better device in this price range..

It does not require ecc. however, unless you're building a home server or a training server, ecc is the better way to go with production servers.

I agree...I have Rack2...but have never used it(never figured out how to use).The included basic software does a great job as is. Greta scanner, great software!

No. ECC memory is only for servers. You should use non-ECC memory for this machine.

Thanks for all the tips and advice. I've had a 20GB for quite a while. The hard disc failed at one point, but I was fortunately able to fix it. Think I'm going to go for the Classic. That nano is very tempting, but 120GB is hard to beat.

im torn between them as well. was going for the bar32 because the listed price was higher so assumed better quality but i've been to the DeLonghi website and they are both for $99. so i wonder where did that $210 came from? lol . but i think im still going for the BAR32 though.. just like it better i guess...

The CP600LCD offers a higher joule rating protection. If you are worried about energy surge, go with the higher joule rating. I have the EC650LCD and it works great, but the CP600LCD offers better surge protection at the cost of slightly lower output. Also, the EC650LCD is a slightly smaller unit - check the size, weight difference of each.

AB 1600 vs Elinchrom D = AB wins. Einstein vs Elinchrom Pro/Ranger = Matter of opinion (well not to your pocket but Elinchrom does have higher available power for when you have to shoot @ f16). Skyport vs Cybersync = no contest. Cybersync is where ALL big light control should be headed.People who drive Audi wagons will hate on your CRV all day... Just keep rollin.

I would suggest that you look carefully at the specification page for each ext HD and decide which better meets your needs. I use ether net only ext HD's myself.

Depends on when you buy it. Mine had 12.2 or something like that but I have 15.x on it right now. Anything 12 and newer will work. CCP sucks in many ways but im a diehard CLI guy. Anyways it s a wonderful little router though I kind of wished I would have purchased the 2900 series instead but no biggie this gets the job done no problem at all.
