Hi All.
First post here.
I've been throwing this option around for awhile and can't seem to make a decision on what type of NAS with Raid option I want for my home enviroment.
We have 3 Laptops and 2 Desktops in my house and what I would like to do is build a NAS where I could store all my pictures/music and some videos. I was thinking of building a HTPC but I don't think that would get much use. I also do not want to have a slip up and lose and pictures on this box reason why I want RAID (1).
Should I build a box that would always be on and might have heat issues or go out and buy a premade box that is green and would light up when it senses computers are on the network???
I also do not want to spend an arm and leg. What are the pros and cons on these 2 options.
Thanks
