Hello,
I am looking for a NAS box to complement my planned SOHO...
I have read this article but it is over 3 years old so looking for some fresh advice.... My requirements are as follows;
Budget? - I already have one samsung HD154UI 1.5TB drive, I am hoping to get one more and then pay around £250-£300 for the NAS (as little as possible really - I have no idea at this stage whether this is realistic or not!)
I guess I am looking at a high-end 2-bay or a low-end 4-bay?
Any suggestions/example set-ups welcome
Thanks
I am looking for a NAS box to complement my planned SOHO...
I have read this article but it is over 3 years old so looking for some fresh advice.... My requirements are as follows;
- Reasonably flexible OS that can run utorrent (or other download client) & PS3 media server
- Option for at least 4TB of storage space, probably starting at 2 x 1.5TB
- At least 1 x USB2.0 port
- Store Video
- Store Music
- Store Pictures
- Store big files over 4GB+
- Capable of streaming at least 2 videos at once
- Have access/password control to nomiated folders/files
- If not RAID, then a decent backup capability (I do not envisage any essential data on my NAS but I would like to have some form of saftey net if it is cost effective)
- Gigabit capable w/jumbo frames (I would like the transfers to be as fast as possible as long as its not silly money!)
