Hi all,

There are some fantastic recommendations here for building HTPCs but nothing about storage which I'm hoping someone out there is an expert in. Currently I've got 2 x 4 bay NAS with 1.5tb drives in Raid 5 but believe it or not, even with 9tb of storage I'm running out!

I know I could swap out the drives for 2tb (the NAS doesn't support 3tb) but I'm looking for something that will mean I don't have to worry about storage for a long, long time.

So does anyone have any recommendations?

I love the NAS boxes because there was next to no setup and because

1. I don't have to make sure my computer is on (I leave them running 24/7)
   
2. They're relatively quite
   
3. They generate very little heat
   
4. I don't have to worry about which OS
   

So I'm hoping for something similar, in saying that, I'm not averse to rack mounted recommendations

thanks in advance!

Your definitely a candidate for unRAID!!
unRAID Server (Video Explanation)

an unRAID PRO license ($119) supports up to 21 Hard Drives!!
thats 40TB of true storage!!

wow, I can see I've got some watching and reading to do, thanks

+1 unRAID - It's super easy to expand your array

You didn't do a search did you? There are lots of posts (many with dozens of pages of discussion) regarding storage.

@teaguecl - I found a few but they were smaller TBs than what I need (I'm already at 9TB), eskros post is perfect and the unraid forum has some great example builds
