Fw: What NAS device to reuse existing SATA drives?!

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Avoid the Intel SS4000 like the plague.....

Infrant ReadyNAS (about =A3400+vat) is better - has XOR hardware=20
acceleration for raid5. And you can expand it's raid array with larger=20
drives whilst online

Sure, that could be cheaper (maybe), but the OP asked:
"Ideally I'd like some kind of Terrastation style enclosure that I
could
just put these drives in!?"

=A3400+ Ouch! I have 4 250gb sata drives sitting around and something like
this would be perfect but not at that price. Maybe I should just bring my
old mini-itx board out of retirement and use this guide

ml) to turn it into a NAS?
