Currently I have a HomeFileServer running Windows Server 2008 Datacenter x64. It has a 80GB Raptor for the OS and Apps, 2x400Gb Drives for Storage.
The Problem is that now I have started to a lot of blu-ray disc, and I want to back those up to .iso like i do my regular DVD's(my kids like to feed the dog movies) and well blu-ray disc are too expensive for that kind of non-sense. I have 1 onboard sata spot left and I have ordered a 1Tb Samsung F1 for it. However if my calculations are remotely accurate i will be able to store approximately 40-50 blu-ray iso's per 1Tb of space. In other words I will quickly run out of space.
What im looking for is a NAS or SAN solution that will provide me expandable storage for quite a while. I dont want FibreChannel I dont need that kind of bandwidth. RAID5 is also a requirement. I really just dont know a good place to look for NAS boxes. Rackmount would be the preferred form factor, but if you have a tower setup that you like I want to hear about it.
Thanks
