But still no extra 250GB


In an ideal world I would just go out any buy 4 x 500Gb SATA drives, a local supplier has Seagate drives at under £70 now. With this solution 1Tb would be more than enough so RAID10 would be the perfect solution.

Although speed isn't a major issue at present, I'm running and ever increasing Gigabit network at home. At the moment it's just the Macbook and one of the servers as my switch only has 2 Gigabit ports. I have noticed that even though the spec of the new NAS box is much higher than my current clarkconnect firewall, the CC box transfers are much quicker. This could be down to the intel gigabit nic I suppose, the one in the NAS is a £15 D-Link (nasty!).

If only I had put a bet on Ascot I could be straight down to pick up my SATA drives
