I've heard very good things about the terrastation. I keep looking at
myself but I think that I will need more space, ultimately. I'm
planning on ripping my wax in flac. I'm still trying to reduce my
collection to only fit in the shelving space that I have now.
So what I think I'll do is just build a box with 4 500G disks in
software RAID 5 as a NAS to my fileserver. Newegg is your friend.

I'm looking at buying a network storage device for my
home/office. Here are the uses, specs, and possiblities I've come up with.
Uses:
a.) First level backup for notebooks.
b.) Central storage for photographs/music/etc.
1.) RAID 1
2.) 500 GB minimum
3.) Low electric usage
4.) Quiet
Possibilities:
a.) Cheap computer with lots of storage. No hardware RAID. Probably
could get software RAID
b.) DLINK DNS-323 - 2 bays
c.) Buffalo Terrastation
d.) Buffalo LinkStation
d.) Infrant ReadyNAS (e.g. NV+)
My questions:
1.) Anybody have any experience with any of the small NAS
systems? I've taught for EMC, so I know about the big ones. They
just won't fit my budget.
2.) Any suggestions for additional specs? (e.g. SATA, rather than
IDE drives?)
Thanks in advance for your comments.
Ken
