Which NAS drive?

[suityou01]

I need 8Gb mirrored NAS. Anyone got any personal positive experiences of such a beast?

[TheFaQQer]

I'd be surprised you can get a NAS that small any more.

Bigger is better

8GB?

Can't you use your phone instead?

He must mean TB

I'd be interested in recommendations too.

Build it yourself in an HP microserver, 4 (or 5 or 6 drives) and FreeNAS

I would also suggest looking at unraid as well as freenas depending on your use case. I used it for years on one of the main servers as it provides an instant raid like backup without
1) the need for all disks to be spinning all the time
whilst also
2) retaining the ability to recover data from the other disks if multiple drives fail at one time...

If what you want is to backup photos, files and server as a media server its a decent bet..

The one thing to remember is that it really comes into its own as the amount of data increases. The fact I can have a server with 10 drives providing 27tb of protected data is a real advantage...
