Quick NAS question

[tdx]

Is there a company that makes a NAS with all the bells & whistles of a ReadyNAS NV (Raid5, media streaming, online expansion) but with more than a 4 hard drive capacity? 5 or 6 drive bays would be perfect.

So, does this exist?

Not that I've seen. Building a system around a Highpoint 2220/2320 will give you that with an 8 drive capacity, but it's obviously not an integrated solution.

That's a shame. Extarnal NAS boxes like the Readynas have all the features i need, except for crive capacity; I need about 5TB of storage, so even with the new 750GB drives a 4-bay box is not gonna cut it, especially if one drive is sacrificed for redundancy for RAID5.
