I'm loving my DS3400 which is overkill but is bulletproof. It's fibre only but got Luns mounted on a server and NFS'd them out.

Cracking piece of kit - rock solid and no waiting for disks spinning up and/or timing out or tulipty throughput.Originally posted by VectraMan View Post
The QNAP I had before was only 4tb and did about 80w but I got peed off with its slowness and just becoming totally unresponsive and needing a kick and sometimes a raid rebuild. None of that shiit with this baby, in fact I have an EXP300 expansion shelf to slap on it when I get some disks for it after I remortgage lol!
Not metered that - might do that tmrw, should be less cos no canisters on it...
It's paid for itself and it's current usage, taught myself fibre SAN on it which helps the rate, plus it's going into hosting hall for Plan B stage 2.
I have an Oracle 7120 Unified Storage box too, 12tb, now THAT uses some power! Does fibre, NFS, iSCSI, CIFS, the lot.....Comment

If you want the low hassle approach go synology or qnap. If you have more time and enjoy tinkering go hp micro serverComment

No. My always-on home servers are based on low power tech - a sheevaplug and a coupla pies.Originally posted by stek View PostComment
