Look at either the Synology or Qnap devices, proablly one with two drives and just compare specs. | |

OK, now this building my own thing got me thinking which is always a bad thing. I've got an MSDN account which means I can get Server and Exchange which makes me want to start a a whole new project. The system specs for that software seems fairly low for a small amount of users and I still want the box to be small, quiet and use little power. Someone convince me that the thoughts in my head are bad :o | |

Anything from Synology, QNap, Icybox(NAS4220 - a number of mods out for this, like a torrent client etc) and Drobo gets my thumbs up. | |

That sounds like a good route. The only expensive stuff then would be a pair of good HDD's and possibily a RAID controller. | |

I bought a mini-itx box off ebay a couple of months back. Has space inside for a couple of hard drives, so probably 2TB max storage capacity. | |

I'm wanting to get a dedicated box because of size, noise and power consumption. I did look down that route but it's not suitable for my little flat :( | |

Are you bothered about cost? | |

I'd quite like a NAS for backups and storage, I want it to have a RAID controller and I think I'd quite like something in the region of 1TB storage capacity. |
