Alrighty...
I'm pretty tired of having multiple drives on my system (C = OS, D = Games, E = Movies & Torrents, and F = Backup / Music / Flacc), with 2 250GB external for Backup of Music / Movies and Downloads.
I'd like to have an external setup, with a total of 4 bays that will support Raid 5, however, I know nothing about NAS boxes, much less how to set them up. I have 2 WD AAKS 750 drives, and should this work out, will get 2 more.
What ideas / recommendations do you gents have. Is NAS the only realistic option for this setup, or is there something else that I should be looking at. Should NAS be the viable choice, how difficult is it to set up / maintain?
Thanks in advance!
