    DAS suggestions

    Was looking at picking up one of these babies with eSata + USB but never went with them. http://www.addonics.com/products/raid_system/ast4.asp Many different configurations available, and pretty cheap.

    Remodeling home network,need opinion

    You might also consider adding another router to your network as an access point - I know some of the routers that support the DD-WRT firmware can be had for pretty cheap (IE the WRT54GL) - $50-$70.

    Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB--Safe to use?

    Where there's doubt, there is no doubt. You know what I mean? While the extra 500GB may be tantalizing, remember that the WD 2TB drive was just released. You can also find Hitachi 1TB drives on sale for about $80 shipped. Also, AFAIK they are dropping the warranty from 5 years down to 3...

    Bought 2 NICs, both have the MAC address

    DIY NAS file copy speeds

    I usually get around 3-5MB, using the horrible, horrible My World Book II WD NAS drive. Doesn't matter whether it's Vista or XP SP3. Yeah.

    What's the Fastest I can get out of this Equipment

    If you've got room and space inside your PC, removing the drives from their USB enslosure and plugging them in directly to the MB might gain you a little bit extra (at least for SATA drives), assuming none of your enclosures are 2 drives in RAID0 or anything funky like that (some of the early...

    TS-639 Pro Reviewed

    Good luck with those 1.5TB drives - they've been having a lot of issues. They released a firmware update, but [http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3002788&pagenumber=4]yeah[/url]. Although they do try and make up: http://www.techreport.com/discussions.x/16246

    DIY NAS file copy speeds

    You might want to lay out a test procedure (IE, to reduce the effects of OS caching and what not) or at least set up some parameters. IE, to copy around 500MB of small documents, to copy 5GB of movies. Might give the results more meaning.

    DIY NAS board better than the Intel D945GCLF2?

    If I were rolling my own DIY box I'd be going with this board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131228 4x GigE LAN ports + Link Aggregation = win.

    Linksys Mediahub Preview and Review

    If you're going to spend $400-$800 on just a great NAS box, why settle for mid-range capacitY? That being said, with all the horrible issues going on with the 1.5TB drives Seagate is pumping out, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole (or my data).

    You might also want to check out MozyHome. Unlimited online backup for $5 a month. Might be a solution if you're only accessing it rarely (after you've phased it out of the first array. http://mozy.com/home
