My G7 Microserver has just died and am trying to look at options to replace it.
It is mainly used for storing movies I have ripped from Blu Ray as well as preserving important files. I have an HTPC downstairs that reads the data from the drives
I would like to get to a smaller footprint than the microserver whilst preserving the redundency of the RAID configuration.
The current capacity is about 4tb (4*2tb). Is a WD Home Duo attached to my home pc the cheapest option? Is there anything particularly horrific about these drives that means I should switch to a proper NAS? Are there any other options for up to £500 i could consider?
I would love to just build a small server but I think whatever I build will be bigger than the microserver.
