Ok I work for a video company that is rather small at the moment (5 people), and we are going to be upgrading everything over the next year and then hopefully in 2009 we will finish our new building and get a server and everything. Right now we just keep projects on external hdds and plug them into the computer we are working on, but the organization is horrible. I have been looking around and we are thinking about purchasing a NAS until we can get a full out server. We are looking for one of the following specs:
Needs to have at least one ethernet port, we use a WRT54G router, so must be compatible with that.
If it had built in wireless that would be nice too, but if not its not neccessary since our router does.
Must be able to support at least 2 hdds, the more the better though. I don't want it to have hdds already installed, I will be purchasing separate hdds.
Something like This built in would be really nice so that we could still use our current external hdds. We have 4 total, so if necessary we could get one of those and then a separate NAS.
Must be compatible with OS X. We have 3 Mac G5s, and 4 Powerbook G4s, so it must be compatible with mac.
Want to spend no more than $500 for the NAS. I have a separate budget for the HDDs.
This looks like what I want. It has 4 USB ports, and 5 SATA, and works on OS X. One question, do yo uhave to use RAID? I would prefer not to.
