Hey 1st post =P I've lurked these forums for a long time.

I'm looking for a suggestion on a NAS appliance for my home network and would appreciate any info you guys could offer.

Little background. I have been keeping all of my backup software, licenses, and ripped copies of my DVD's on a few hard drives and just hot swapping them in a firewire enclosure depending on what I needed on each drive(Yes stupid I know). Well last night I had one of them take a dump on me and am looking to consolidate to a single appliance with a raid 5 for redundancy. So at least if one drive dies I can get a replacement to rebuild the array.

Does anyone have a recommendation on a brand/model that they have/had used?. In the past I've had good luck with the Lacie products and was eyeing the new Big5 appliance they have coming out. I'm looking for at least 2 TB /w redundancy.

Much appreciated.

Could also look at D-Link DNS-343, 4 drive enclosure.

Have a read there of the recent look at externals toms did. I would stay away from USB like a plague it always seems to be slowest interface these days.

Heya,

I was just mentioning this little gem in another thread, might as well mention it here too:

1tb. Plugs into your router via ethernet. Instant NAS. Has USB port to add additional drives onto the NAS. Stupid simple. Since it plugs into a router, if the router also supports wireless, you've got wifi NAS on the fly. Sick.

Cheers,
