Any storage solution with fast LAN interface ?

peaceduke · Jul 14, 2016

I want something that will serve as a storage place for 2 pcs , box with HDD's inside and LAN interface to transfer data

I don't want to buy another pc for that , instead I need Turbo Lan interface box
to save files from both computers into that storage .

with ability to ccombine HDDs into raid massives

any suggestions ?

Sounds like you are looking for a NAS (network attached storage) Several vendors make these, Synology, Netgear, QNAP, Buffalo, Western Digital. All with different feature sets and models carrying 1-8 HDD's (not including expansions bays)

I saw NAS drives but unfortunatelly they are small in terms of capacity compare to HDDs
and also capacity/speed/price ratio for NAS is very expensive

I need HDD solution , Box with 4 slots lets say , superfast lan interface to read and write with high speeds

NAS solutions can grow to many petabytes of storage, you are only limited to your funding.

You can get 10TB drive and pop 2 or 3 of those into a NAS and you would meet your requirements. That is very small for a NAS. Some companies run hundreds if not thousands of drives in a NAS or SAN.

You can use any number of drives in any size. It just depends on your finances and available slots, pick what you want.

AFAIK No, you need a NAS or another computer, the NAS or computer keeps track of that file system which will allow multiple devices to read/write simultaneously. Also Turbo LAN is an ASUS only motherboard feature.
You are going to be limited to ~100MB/s due to 1Gb ethernet. If you cant spend a few hundred on a NAS you wont be spending a few grand on 10Gb ethernet
Also would not recommend 4x6TB drives in a 24TB capacity as you would have to be in a RAID 0 array, so when one drive fails you lose everything.

I know that, have no choice , otherwise I would experience 7200RPM which is crap
I need raid 0 + turbo lan
I have X99 deluxe + X99 - A MB so both of them have turbo lan feature
by the way which drive manufacturer would you recomend ? in terms of reliability ...
