Re: NAS
I am using a Netgear Ready NAS Duo v2, 2TB (1 with and 1 free with unit)! Great so far.

 Thanks for the input. I actually want to run SVN on it, along with hosting VMware images so I think I'll need something a little more beefy. Netgear don't really seemed to have moved forward in terms of functionality it seems. rgds |

Re: NAS
When I upgraded my PC, the old one (minus the noisy stuff) went into the attic as an SVN repository, SFTP server and general purpose bit bucket.

Re: NAS
Did you use any kind of resilience? Or any NAS software?
I did wonder about doing something like that but not really convinced it is the right option for me |

Re: NAS
Once again, HP Micro Server
http://h20584.www2.hp.com/hpgt-stati...Main_Image.jpg Can do alot more with it than a NAS, costs a little more but will serve you better.

Re: NAS
I have a Buffalo NAS I use at home , handy little tool . I bought one as my external hard drive got pulled off the table and hit the deck . I did a fair bit of research on them and it isn't the best but for home use and what I paid for it , it'll do . The main point that people have with them is speed over the network and whether they are multi drive or not . One brand kept coming up as being very good for about £400 with no drives populated but I cannot remember the name now . Was more than I was going to spend anyway

If I was keeping significant amounts of work on the SVN server I would want it running mirrored drives and daily backups to an external USB drive. This shouldn't be expensive: 2 x 500Gb internal drives = £100The only other cost is your time setting up file system mirroring and regular backups. I would prefer this to a proprietary NAS box because in the event of a hardware failure I can get my data back online fairly easily, either by connecting the external HDD to a laptop or moving the internal drives into another cheap PC. The problem I see with small NAS systems is that they are only on sale for a couple of years. After that it could take days or even weeks to find a replacement unit if there's a hardware failure. Just my thoughts, Keith. |
