The bare bones 2 putting 4 x 250gb SATA drives in it RAID5 and using it as a NAD/DR Backup server

Running openfiler.

I have one of their 3us' cases with 4x300GB SATA drives in a RAID 5. Works nice. Be warned though. you need to order the rails seperately.

1st Technologies might be getting some Iomega NAS boxes in - I expect they should be relatively cheap. Speak to Stuart on 01254 878800.
