Looking to buy a NAS with some hard drives and configure a RAID 5 setup for a business. Already set on four 1TB WD RE3 drives since this drive should be compatible with almost every NAS and it's built for RAID anyway.
We work in a Windows environment. PCs are using XP still, but will be upgraded within time to Win7. Only pain in the butt right now is most machines have 10/100 ethernet. Routers and switches are 10/100/1000 ready.
Basically everyone has important files scattered on various computers with no real backup solution other than copying them to a DVD. Main purpose of this NAS is to provide one solution where everyone can store their files and look it up. Would like to make a network drive on everyone's computer to the NAS.
No real budget is set, but would like to get a feel for what the costs will be for different options.
Thanks for any help.
