I am in the need of mass storage in the new house I will be moving into. There will be a main server serving the house and I am considering storage options.
1. Buy 2x 750GB Seagates and stick them in the server - too expensive
2. Buy a NAS enclosure and stick 2x750GB's in them - too expensive
3. Buy 4x Western Digital 500GB Book's USB - Seems perfect
Option 3 seems to be the best + cheapest, but will it be fast enough because USB will be slower than connecting it directly to the network, yes ?
Is there hard drive caddies you can buy and stick a hard drive in, and it has a ethernet port on the back to connect it directly to the network.
Hard drives will be sending large files over the network so will need to be fast.
Reccommend away
