    Not sure which RAID level to implement...

    There is no one answer to these questions that is equally suited to everyone. How much use will your storage array be seeing? Is continuous, 24/7 up time critical, or can you tolerate downtime? Is your data critical or mission critical? What other back up solutions are you using? How many...

    Which Nas to buy ?

    Just quickly on this... Did you mean to say that you run a RAID1 NAS? RAID 0 is simple mirroring, if I remember correctly. RAID 1 is striping which has the advantage of breaking up read requests into parallel requests that -- with good hardware -- are able to make better use of available...

    Help: My topology is no longer under my control?

    I'm not a networking IT guy. Please forgive my question if it seems silly. My old equipment was an old Western Electric DSL modem and a Linksys wireless G router. In this system, I had the DSL modem simply perform "DSL pass through" and I allowed the router to be my NAT gateway and DHCP...

    Linux Novice -- How to match a NAS to my needs?

    No, honestly I haven't. I know the brand but I've only encountered it since I began looking into NAS replacements. It, like QNAP, isn't a brand that I know well. Can you recommend a model that would be similar to the Ultra 6? I'll check it out.

    Linux Novice -- How to match a NAS to my needs?

    Not sure what to do. My current NAS, an aging MicroNet PlatinumNAS (750mb x 4, RAID 5) is nearing its capacity limit so I'd like to replace it. I do not see any value in spending resources to upgrade it at this point. It has been adequate for my needs for file sharing, but I'd like more media...
