Anybody have any personal experience/suggestions?
I want a NAS for SATA drives, preferable to have two drives so I can do RAID 1. Then I can make it as big as I want. I would want it to be quiet itself. I have read a few reviews that suggest some are very noisy the fans are crap in them apparently. I can by drives that are quiet, but the actual enclosure I don't know about.
I know D-link makes one (323). There is the ZyXEL NSA-220.
I did find this site http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/blogcategory/50/75/
Anyway if anyone has suggestions I would like to hear them. It would be very handy for me to have all my files and media in one location since I have multiple computers I work on.
Also is there any temperature sensitivity to these things? Do they keep themselves warm if it is cold or will the FDB in the HDD get to thick and ruin the HDDs if it is cold?
edit:
Perhaps this is all foolish and instead I should upgrade my HTPC to act as a NAS, but from what I understood before file transfers will actually be slower like that.
