    Important thing for me is the bit that it's a Linux. While I do have a Linux VM running I wont make it OS for my server, it will be either Windows or VmWare. And since I don't trust Windows enough for doing and expanding RAID with it the number of disk slots in future server will be irrelevant...

    I do hope that disks will become little cheaper over time but the total cost is the reason why I haven't committed fully on this already. I can't justify spending well over 3000€ for convenience of use but I can justify cost of buying a NAS and disks that store data I already have. If adding...

    Commercial or DIY NAS

    Hi, while the title is quite general I registered to this forum for a very specific situation. Some time ago I replaced my trusty old NAS with an old server that I got with a price you can't beat. Server had been a VmWare host in its previous life and was filled with disks so I installed...
