My ReadyNAS Duo is almost full and now it's time to look at updating it so I can use more drives. I use the ReadyNAS to stream movies/music to my HTPC and WDTV Live player. I also use it for torrents and nzbs when I need to. I do a backup of all the files on my NAS to an external drive once a month as well (I have 2 drives for this so always got 2 backups).
As I've just updated my HTPC I now have parts that I could use (need a case though) to build a server. However, as I've got such a simple setup would I be just as well building a Win7 PC and then create a homegroup to share all my media? I have been looking at WHS 2011 but I think this might be overkill for what I want.
