NAS

[tjwenger]

I'm looking to get a Diskless NAS enclosure for my VM storage CIFS (We use CIFS over ISCSI @ work, And I'm trying to replicate that environment) and I've got my eye on a 2 bay Synology. Specifically, this one:

I plan to populate it with 2 x 2TB drives.

But I was wondering if anybody had any other suggestions?

****EDIT****

This is for home use, but for testing/playing for work.

Intel SS4200-E?

Care to elaborate on that? Good Experience with it?

Talk about expensive. I would get this for half the price and put FreeNAS on it: http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/embedded/mserv/s2100/

Do you have experience with that Box?

I have the older version of it.
