Hey hey,
Was looking into a storage alternative and tho I like the NAS such as Synology, I don't really think I have much use in it's features to spend 900$ for a 5 slot (expandable to 15), or even 400$ for the 4 slot.
Are there any other alternatives out there? TBH, I would put all my hard drives in my case and just RAID them, but my current case does not allow more than 3 HDD's (since my 4870 takes 2 slots)
A friend mentioned buying a HDD rack but I fail to see how you would connect all the hard drives to your PC, unless I keep the side panel out and keep the rack right next to my unit, which I don't really want.
