I've been looking and trying to decide upon a storage solution. A NAS seems to be the way to go. And although I know that I could use a PC, cost isn't much different. At least not for what I've been looking at.
I'm considering this unit: Thecus N4100PRO ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822102026 ) $349
PC wise, I could get a Dell Inspiron 570 (which still only holds 4 HDD's) for $299. But overall, it would take up more space. But in the long run, upgradability cost would likely be less than purchasing a second NAS.
I like the NAS approach as the units are smaller. But I could likely squeeze in a third PC case into my setup somewhere.
So I come to the gurus for ideas. What are you guys using and why? What other products are available and/or does everyone have experience using?
