    How to select a NAS Drive for Home Use?

    Is there a key set of advantages of SATA II vs SATA drive? And does it make sense to use SATA II drives for the home NAS? Also on these NAS boxes like Synology and ReadyNAS can a consumer upgrade the RAM memory? How do we know the maximum RAM the system will support?

    How to select a NAS Drive for Home Use?

    Is the Seagate Barracuda ES2 you are referring to significantly better and will it make a difference on my LAN compared to the Western Digital Green SATA drives? It looks like the ES2 are $160 a pop for the 1TB on Amazon.

    How to select a NAS Drive for Home Use?

That is why I was preferring the Synology over those particular models of...

    How to select a NAS Drive for Home Use?

    I couldn't find a link with compatible drives for the ReadyNAS Duo. What drive does the Duo ship with? Also, you ask why not consider the ReadyNAS Duo. How about it's performance for writes/reads and copys compared with Synology? Thoughts?

    How to select a NAS Drive for Home Use?

    The ReadyNAS NVX is more expensive than the ReadyNAS NV+ I was looking into. The ReadyNAS NV+ does not have an eSATA port. Also I heard from a friend (though he bought his ReadyNAS NV+ a few years back) that the ReadyNAS NV+ does not go into a low power state when the disk is not being...
