I’ve previously noted with horror that I’ve exhausted most of the 1TB of RAID 5 storage on aenea, with a deluge of video and picture files.

This week I’m in Colorado for my brother’s graduation, and have taken the time to select and order a new NAS solution.

I ended up selecting the Infrant ReadyNAS NV+. I ordered the 1GB RAM version with no disks from eAegis for about $700, and four 750GB Baracuda SATA drives from newEgg for under $1200. Once I put it all together, I’ll have 2.25 TB of available storage capacity.

I like the ReadyNAS coz it’s a small appliance, it supports UPnP AV, SlimServer, and Network DVD, does jumbo frames, and has external USB ports for USB backup. It does rsync so I can easily migrate my existing store over, and perform backups to my dreamhost account.

I’ll post again when I get it going.
