The NAS200, the successor to the Linux-based NSLU2, has room for two internal SATA drives, a 10/100 Ethernet port, and supports FAT32-formatted external USB 2.0 drives. It comes with UPnP media-sharing software.

The NAS200 is built around a RDC semiconductor R3210-G — a RISC-based System-on-a-chip that executes the Intel 80486 instruction set. The NAS200's stock firmware supports only Microsoft Windows networking (SMB). This firmware includes a Linux 2.6.19 kernel and uses an eCos-based boot loader. {{cite web |title= Linux-based SLUG spawns highly hackable NAS |author= Henry Kingman |url= http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS8932620558 |date= September 6, 2007 |work= LinuxDevices.com |archiveurl= https://archive.today/20120909083448/http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Linuxbased-SLUG-spawns-highly-hackable-NAS/ |archivedate= September 9, 2012 |url-status= dead }}
