Anyone online who isn't busy and feels like talking about diy NAS? I have some of my basic components picked out, but I'd love a second opinion. And you know, someone to tell me if I'm doing it wrong. *g* I'm going for low-power and future buildability, so I'm only getting the most basic pieces now to add to later, and also, trying to decide if I want to mess around with RAID for more than my ego. I mean, I want to build a RAID array just to say I can, but the downsides of actually using it are getting to me.

I am that kind of person, yes.

Passed this query to my husband, who gave me a vaguely puzzled look and said he doesn't get involved unless there are 300+ hard drives. XD

My BFF's husband is the same way, which is why I only ask when I"m desperate. I mean, he would answer my questions, but he's getting a PhD in computer science, so asking Batman about my home server seems overkill. *g*

Yeah, a friend of mine recently asked him for advice on networking and he had to confess that he couldn't really help because it wasn't a question about Cisco hardware.

(Kind of like when my mother asks me questions about Windows problems when I haven't actually used it at home for years, I suppose.)

Anyway, re: RAID, he adds that suggests that for performance, RAID at home isn't all that useful, and Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid drives rock, but for data protection, RAID1 - mirror - is good for ensuring your data sticks around.

I'm always here :) I'm EST, and not a night owl (and Fred goes to bed at 10, 9 Central) but you can always have me give you a ring or throw me an E-Mail, Etc...

Not just nas, but let's talk about Jumbo Frames. You know you want to.

I see you have enough geeky offers. I am always available for questions, particularly about NAS as it is the current fun in the house of geek.
