All,

I would like to buy a NAS enclosure (minimum 4 Bay) that has an ethernet connection (1000) to back up and store all my files. Can anyone suggest a good enclosure ?. It would also have to be compatible with my Popcorn Hour.

TIA

Have you tried sorting all NAS devices on NewEgg by User rating? That's usually a good way to start looking for a good device.

Infrant NV+ now Netgear NV+ ($499) w/ no disks. Their proprietary X-RAID rocks and support forums are great.

I bought mine w/ two disks (Seagate 7200's) when it was Infrant. Since Netgear took over, it's generally cheaper to buy the disks yaself.

Available storage = n-1 x C where n = No. of disks and C = capacity of smallest drive.

(4) 7200.12's will cost ya $360

NAS's though are not like Windows RAID. There's generally two groups of people with the NV+ .... those who thinks it's the greatest and those who think it's terrible which I think mainly results from them just doing things different than peeps expect. Sure is nice tho to hot swap HD's w/o a hiccup.
