Best Home Network NAS
jammerjam writes "My WD 120GB drive got its MBR scrambled so it no longer mounts in my W*ndoze box (I can recover the data so I know that's intact). But now that's made me realize I need to implement my data backup plan. Scouring the Internet I can't find a reliable resource for home NAS solutions. For every positive review I can find a negative that refutes it. My first choice from what I found starts at $1200...I've got $500. Anyone have a suggestion? I'm not looking for enterprise-level storage here — but I do want reliability."
Get a real raid card not a software one good hard ones cost $250 - $1000
I'd tell her to get a Civic instead of a Yugo. RAID cards can cost thousands if you want to go nuts; the GP only recommending starting at $200 which is hardly unreasonable. Chill out.
