Help choosing a NAS, models within

MarkW7 · 19 Sep 2009 at 16:54

I need a NAS for my home network, it needs to be a reasonable price, hold atleast 2 drives and a minimum capacity of 2TB, 2x 1TB drives.
Incase of a drive failure i want the data backed up, (Raided?) so really i'll only have 1TB but thats fine aslong as it's safe.

I need to connect to it on Windows XP, and Vista and Linux.
Needs atleast 1 USB port for pen drive / printer
File format: no idea?

That's all

Some model's i've been looking at; cannot link because of competitors but you can google.

1. Thecus N2100
2. Netgear SC101T
3. Icy Box IB-NAS4220-B
4. Linksys NAS200-EU
5. HYPERTEC BOX-FSV2SR/E

If theres a product you can recommend please post or the best out of above, they're all around £100.

Thank you!!

Looks good, is it for sale? What harddrives do you have in it at the moment.
