    DIY NAS vs QNAP vs Synology

    So, to review... Requirements: - 24/7 Operation - Low Power - 4-6 Disks - Redundancy (raid 5 was listed) - 1080p transcoding I would say a DIY option. I have the N40L, and it works great for me; but, I don't think its powerful enough to transcode HD efficiently.. If you don't need the HD...

    Kingston HyperX 3K Series 240GB SSD Review @ [H]

    I love my HyperX, I definitely recommend it to anyone looking to purchase a new SSD. I've had mine for a few months now and I have yet to see any issues.

    HP ProLiant MicroServer owners' thread

    The backplane has power and data wired in already, you don't need to wire anything if you use the 4 provided hard drive spaces. There is also the option to add a something in the 5.25in drive space; you could put that DVD burner there or the SSD for example.. though, you won't get the full SATA...

    Hard Drive Prices Falling Already?

    Yes, it would behoove them to keep the prices higher than they "should" be to offset the costs that they've incurred, at least for a while.

    HDD prices rising

    The price is well over the $1/Gb line at Newegg, even on Black Friday. This has seriously wrecked my plans of building a backup server..

    Dual caviar black and a caviar blue? Idea?

    just an fyi, wd blacks are not recommended for RAID(according to WD). a lot of people say they drop out every now and then. i personally havent tried it, so i dont know. I own 1 wd 1tb black drive and i love it. If you take what WD says at face value, my recommendation would be to short stroke...

    i7 stock heatsink

    It is fine for stock usage. Remember though, these chips do run a bit hot; so it might be a decent investment to upgrade your cooling. I figure, if you are going to spend the money on a new processor, spend a bit more and buy an aftermarket cooler

    i7 Heatsink?

    I have the CM V8, it does a pretty good job at keeping things cool. just remember that you are still dumping heat into the case, so you still need decent case fans... or just dont use a case i guess

    The *almost* sub-$1000 i7 build...about to pull the trigger

    I recommend an aftermarket cpu cooler like the TRUE or V8... those i7s run hot
