RE: Replacement NAS required

[Mike Griffiths <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We use Thecus and Qnap
The Thecus has a better build quality but really does this matter. It is
also reflected in the price
Qnap seems to have more toys on arrival
Both work fine though neither work fully with 2008 server (What Does!!)

Either will do what you are asking.

Subject: [ukha_d] Replacement NAS required

My old Buffalo Linkstation is on it's last legs - disk makes a horrible
whining noise (bearing failing?) and the fan has packed up. As it is quite
low capacity by todays standards I've decided to replace rather than mess
around repairing it, will wipe the disk and sell it on for spares/repair.



As it has done god service I was going to replace it with a Linkstation Pro
but before I do are there any other units I should be looking at? I use the
unit mainly for storing ripped music (about 200 gigs worth) and also as a
central back up for our laptops. Ideally I want gigabit lan (fast Ethernet
would be fine but I'm migrating to gigabit), 500 gig disk or greater,
support for windows shares so it will work with Sonos, USB connectivity for
additional external drive (scheduled back up to USB would be a bonus). Any
views on other kit I could should consider?
