hi, im looking for a external storage and need advices! the only propose is just to fill it up with media data (already have a 2TB full).
i need a enclosure with 4 or 5 bay slots, with support for sata I and II, III (should be great). Its no big deal if it doesnt have Ethernet, USB2 or 3 or eSATA its enough i think. Doesnt need to be a NAS, a DAS should be ok. And im looking for Diskless solutions only...
i found a few that i like:
drobo or drobo s, friendly use doesnt need to configure (beyondraid 5), very expenssive
mediasonic pro have a nice price no JBOD or RAID and i dont find it for sell in europe online shops
1st of all im not familiar with raid or jbod, and i want to use the disk that is full (dont want to lose data) in a future external storage
any help of past experience or tips should be great, because this is a big investment and should last for many years.
big thks
