I am getting paralysis by analysis.
What I have now is a HTPC running MediaPortal with 3 1TB WD green drives in it,
Also probably another 2-3 TB of hard drives in other computers and sitting around.
What I would like is centralized storage that any computer can access though primarily for the HTPC. I have a gigabit network setup so I have been looking at NAS type setups. The 3 HDs in the HTPC are not raid or anything and what I would like is a setup that I can put all my various drives in (4-8) and a couple 2tb drives with some level of redundancy. I really like what I read about Drobo or ReadyNAS (Unraid also?) where drive size does not matter and you can add and remove as needed.
Basically all I need it to do is always be available for the HTPC to access streaming HD content and a place to save torrents. The Drobo and ReadyNAS seem to be just what I need but 800-900 for a 6bay seems ridiculous to me.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction,
Brandon
