NAS, Anyone got such at home and what toy if so?

« on: February 10, 2010, 11:22:32 am »

Personally I've been stricken by the awesome look of the http://www.netgear.com/stora.
It's got such a clean look, tho that bothers me is that it's raid 1 and not 0, 5 or jbod.
Tho I suppose you can run two sepearate drives on it and share like that etc...

Linksys do have some nice looking ones as well. http://www.linksysbycisco.com/EU/en/products/NetworkStorage

Netgear also has the http://netgear.com/Products/Storage/ReadyNASDuo.aspx?for=Home+Networking series which is looking quite nice as well.

The http://us.acer.com/acer/productv.do;jsessionid=4B7396A95AF2C79EA6E75B36C973531C.public_a_us004?kcond61e.c2att101=54825&link=oln15e.redirect&changedAlts=&CRC=2051720994 is also looking like a nice toy.

So anyone got any good advice?

Well always wanted a nas, but my plans where more any old pc I have lying around + freeNAS (http://freenas.org/freenas), a controller card and loads of 1TB HDDs.

I just bought a cheap USB external disk. More or less the same thing. Small, portable, and any current device has an USB connector. Camera, TV, PC, car MP3 player, everything.

True, tho that's no where close to a NAS

Most likely I'll be buying me a new hdd or two.. and set my workstation up as somewhat of a NAS.
