Thinking NAS again

Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.

I am again thinking about building a 1TB NAS for my home. Ran across this PC Upgrade kit called ReByte that looks interesting: reByte Network Attached Storage, NAS and Backup Solutions.

The IOMEGA, Mirra and Snap Server are all too expensive. They are between $2.50 and $6.00 per gig. With the base 7500RPM ATA drives running at less than $0.50 per gig, I can’t swallow the premium for integration and a case. The cute thing about the reByte solution is that it is an upgrade kit for an existing PC case. RAID cases are expensive. PC cases are cheap.

I will keep looking.
