Suggest NAS for small Business

[yogeshkk2]

Hi all,

We have small Business of Embedded Linux and ASIC design. We mostly deal with EDA tools. Most systems (around 180) 90% of them run Ubuntu/CentOS and rest microsoft windows.

We are looking for a Storage solution which can give us:

- Main use: file storage/storage of opengrid
- 2 x 2TB internal drives, with RAID 10 (Stripes set)
- low noice (would be nice, but not crucial)
- low power (would be nice, but not crucial)
- Reasonable price (Most mandate)
- Support for Linux(Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, Fedora) and Windows(all)
- Access via Internet (would be nice, but not crucial)

Millions of thanks in advance!

If you want RAID 10 then you need a 4 drive box.

Synology DS414 would be a good choice. 4 x 3 TB WD Red drives would give you ~6 TB on RAID 10 … Then get an external 4TB HDD to back the lot up…

For really important data you are better to have a backup offsite which you could do with a second Synology NAS.

Hi Polar,

First of all, Thanks for reply.

My budget is not that high. So I am ok with RAID 5 with 2TBx3 harddrive. Could you please suggest me NAS for with 3 HDD? Any recommendation? Western Digital/Seagate ?

* NFS support and 1Gbps x2 ethernet is must!

Synology DS414 is not widely available in Asia(India by exact), which Brand do you suggest, which could be easily available/accessible to me here(In India)?

Millions of thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Yogesh
