    I suppose all you little nerds all have a NAS setup at home. What do you use exactly ? Is it only a shared disk, or do you have an operating system running it (Linux or Windows ?)

    ~RaGE();

    I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

            I have a QNAP TS-509Pro as my main Nas, currently running 5x1.5TB drives in a Raid 5 setup, but away to be changed to 5x2Tb drives as acouple of them are now starting to get excess sector re-allocation counts due to age. I also have a Netgear ReadyNas v2 with 3x1Tb drives just for secondary messing about. There is an article on CP that JSOP did Build Your Own NAS Device[^]

              I got a simple 2-bay synology NAS - and love it to bits. It's got all my photos on it, all my music on it, and I use it to stream movies to the telly. If I had more money I'd buy a couple more!

                    Synology rocks. Started with a 2-bay and extended it by another 5 - will max out at 28TB. Very nice.

                            I have a 4 disk RAID5 NAS, with 4 * 1TB HDD's It runs Linux, but I don't touch that: I want it to act as a "safe" file store for music, videos to cast to Chromecast, and my primary backups. And if I started modifying it, I'd probably never stop! :laugh:

                              Rather than buying a couple more, I'd get a four (or more) bay: that way you can use RAID 5 to spread data across disks and mitigate any single HDD failure. Trust me, that is worth it's weight in gold pressed latinum!

                                  What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

                                      Rather than buying a couple more, I'd get a four (or more) bay: that way you can use RAID 5 to spread data across disks and mitigate any single HDD failure. Trust me, that is worth it's weight in gold pressed latinum!

                                        I know the feeling - but it's a lot cheaper in the long run than having a disk fail: particularly if you are running your box in JBOD mode as a single large virtual disk. Either disk fails, and you lose the lot... If you can get to RAID5, then any single disk doesn't cost as much, because you don't lose anything - just replace the faulty disk when you can and carry on. And the "bare-bones" Synology boxes aren't exactly cheap either!

                                          I suppose all you little nerds all have a NAS setup at home. What do you use exactly ? Is it only a shared disk, or do you have an operating system running it (Linux or Windows ?)

                                          ~RaGE();

                                          I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

                                          I recommend JOSP's article also but I wrote and article of a NAS I configured using Ubuntu and it worked otu very well. FreeNAS or Ubuntu[^]
