    NAS with GigE and RAID

    Hi,
    I need NAS with gigabit ethernet and capability for 4-6 SATA disks.
    Must support at least some of the following RAID levels: 0,1,5,10
    Thanks!

    Nevermind, looks like I would need to spend like $600 for a pre-made NAS with these capabilities. Might just set up a small server for this

      I found the same problem.
      seems much cheaper to use a old pc.
      My pc
      CPU : AMD PHENOM II x4 @ 3.5Ghz
      MB : ASUS M4A89TD PRO USB3
      RAM : Kingston ValueRAM 16gb DDR3
      PSU : Cooler Master 850W Silent Pro
      GPU : ATI Radeon HD 6850

        Hmm, I just did one on an 6 year old desktop, for free. Mind you, the desktop only has 4 SATA ports, so it's limited, but it works great. Gig-E, RAID 1 5 6 or 10.
        36 Monitors, 3 TVs, 4 Laptops, 1 motherboard, 1 Printer, 1 iMac, 2 hard drive docks and one IP Phone repaired so far....

          I spent 3800 on my server.
          $420 norco case 24 hot swap bays 8087 sas/sata backplanes
          $199 supermicro board
          2 or $3something on E3-1230 cpu
          $120 16GB of ECC Kingston Ram,
          $429 each for two LSI HBA 4 Port 8087 cards,
          $169 each, eight 3TB drives
          and a couple of other things. I moved the old corsair 750w and 6 1TB sammies, two WD RE 500GB, two seagate 1.5TB and a 2TB sammy from my old fileserver to the this new one.
          I bought a USB 3.0 card for my mythtv usb tuners, and recently my first seagate cheetah 15K drive to fool around with, I was disappointed with it, since it's performance sucked ass according to other drives from WD and Hitachi. That's why it was a refurb on newegg and so damn cheap $54. I end up using it to migrate the O/S on the old maxtor pata drive.

          I used my vacation pay and some money I had saved up for a road-trip that never happened. I finally paid it off last month. It was built in June 2012.

          I'll be honest, I'm very proud of it and I treat it as my baby, you guys have your cars, I have my server.

                  Running a old server for this is fine untill you need to move it (small and portable) then true NAS devices shine.
                  Gigabit Ethernet is a plus but only if the network you connect to has it as well as the machines on the network.
                  Raid is a total waste speed wise (Raid 0), and it is much cheaper to just backup the NAS than to a run a Raid 1 etc. Unless you are doing serious data backup for a real business like a bank etc just grab a single or dual drive drive Nas with 100Mbs and work from there.

                    I have a poweredge 1800 that came with two 147 scsi drives and a PCI-X scsi raid controller /w ram and batt

                    Just replaced the two 5'1/2 bays with sata hot swaps and 1tb WD blacks in raid 1

                    have a gb switch and can download and upload shit sooo fast off that fucker

                    I also have a vtrak 15100 (bought from goodwill for $100 thinking it was a server). Not sure if i'll ever do anything with that fucker, I know it works. I even have the ext scsi cable and terminator. But its sata 150
