Good low-cost NAS with resilience (RAID5 ?)

[PiX64]

New here - first post. Considering moving from my SageTV system to NPVR

I highly recommend unraid. U can run an unraid 3 drive system for free. I currently have 4 1.5 TB drives and 4 1 TB drives running for all my archived recordings, DVD, bluray, etc.

Unraid is optimized for media and really shines in that area. I have had 4 different blurays streaming to 4 tvs in the house while recordings HD were being recorded from hdhr, and not so much as a single skip or stutter.

Unraid is a sorta psuedo raid 4 with a parity drive..

Def check it out. It's pretty awesome. Bit runs my entire house media and my subsonic server.

I got one of the HP microservers with £100 cashback - like these http://www.ebuyer.com/281915-hp-proliant...m=products It looks like the cashback offer is still on.

Does anyone know if one of these would run SBS2003 ?

HP don't provide drivers for SBS2003, but the MicroServer thread on AVSForums gives reasonably clear instructions on how to get around that...

Well, I ordered one last night at about quarter to six (with free next day delivery) - it arrived first thing this morning...

Bear in mind that last post was from 21st December 2011...

Round about the end of August 2012, I installed SBS2003, stuck in two 2TB disks and put it back in the box...

Sometime in November 2012, I took it out of the box, moved it up to the attic and switched it on...

Yesterday, I moved most of my machines over to the new domain server - I've left one on the old server for the moment - just in case...

Lazy bugger or what?
