    Need suggestions on 4220 hardware ...

    Hey guys, I've been reading these forums like crazy for the last week or so, but now I'm at the point where I need to ask some questions and try and get a little bit of help from some of you. Long story short I'm just starting to build a DIY file server / NAS, and I'm after a little bit of...
