Buffalo Terastation - 17 of them by now in various sizes

MaDalton · 02-26-2012, 08:33 PM

I have different needs in that I don't store 'content' for resale, only for 2257, I'll post a pic of that sometime for ya ;)... I use BD for that. I need a small box for documents... it's pretty confusing reading all the reviews.

well, you asked for a NAS - Buffalo sells NAS. in various sizes and in different RAID settings

if you just want to store docs you can get an external HD and burn a copy to DVDs

If I wasn't a serious geek who built a storage cloud from scratch, I'd use the Western Digital World Edition. Out of the box, it's solid. Your favorite geek can customize it if needed because under the hood it's a Linux server.

That or use webserver old hardware you have laying around and install FreeNAS or similar. A comparison of open NAS solutions, all of which are more feature rich and customizable than are affordable NAS hardware:

I've been very happy with

There's a rackmount version also if needed.

I need it to be 'automatic' already burning copies, using other drives etc.. . have a network at the other end of the studio wanna get backed up

BM.. the Buffalo works great.. I had a couple of lacie and they crapped out on me, I am thinking about trying something else, later this year.

Godsmack · 02-27-2012, 08:46 AM

Qnap . .

LiveDose · 02-27-2012, 08:49 AM

I picked up a Qnap 4 bay nas box about 3 months ago as well. So far so good. Hot swappable and pretty easy to set up.

Has anyone used http://www.freenas.org/ in a setup? Just curious.

Exactly right. QNAP are fantastic (love the constant software upgrades, tons of useful features.

awxm · 02-27-2012, 09:03 AM

QNAP or Synology.

SZNY · 02-27-2012, 09:15 AM

I'm using a few QNAP's here, so far pretty good

bronco67 · 02-27-2012, 09:20 AM

I have a ReadyNas +, but I'm very disappointed with the speed. I'm going to find a USB3 solution soon.
