I thought it made sense for me to post my notes here when im researching my new NASLite+ USB NAS.
I currently run a number of 1TB Naslite boxes on old hardware but with the significant upgrades planned for V2 (namely RAID) i am planning to replace them with 1 new box.
The system will be geared to make use of a couple of TB of older IDE drives and probably about 3TB of new SATA drives. These will be configured RAID 5.
I will also include 4 smaller disks configured with as much resilainace as possible for absolutely critical data.
This is obviously no small system and virtually everything will require to be purchsed from the ground up.
As it stands heres my main areas of research (to be filled in as i ratify my choices)
