Great topic poof...im just onto this after sorting out the hardware with eskros and yours thread on builds (mostly eskros, correct ?)...i see your giving the sammy drives a bashing there..i have 2 of those in my RAID5 array on my TS 439 pro ll..never had any trouble with them..surely they cant be as bad as the hitatchi deathstars ?
Anyway, i would always go with a dedicated NAS...just like the all roundness of it....but i was thinking..say i was running out of space on my QNAP 4x2TB NAS..it has two ethernet ports and numerous USB ports..would it be viable to setup up a spare parts box full of nice cheap hdd just to house the films and have it all linked up as if it were running off the NAS...so basically i could turn of the auxilart box when not being used ?..maybe even run it as a sperate enterty for unspecial films ?
