but that's not why we are here, is it?   |
I would expect the drive capacity to start ramping up and past the 1T capacity in 6-12 months. So you can buy any MB that has SATA II Raid controllers with dual gigabit networks. Drop 4 1.2T drives in raid 5. You have a 4 T NAS with dual gig speed. With FreeNAS the frontend. Total setup time < 1 hr.
Then we want need our snaps.
