Your Storage Solution
#1
Hey all, looking to upgrade my storage. Was wondering what sort of storage solution people use.

At the moment I have two qnap nas', they do they job nicely but running out of room.

Be used for media files like films and tv series.

Just looking for some inspiration/ideas on what solutions are available.

Cheers.

On a more (or less?) serious note - check out this 16TB monster....

Maybe it's time to build a small lowerpowered PC with a stack of SATA drives?

Openfiler Smile Some people like freenas because they say it is easier to configure, but I'll stick with openfiler Smile

Wow, very nice! This guy has some serious workshop. Check out his desktop pc.

Now that I have built my antique radio htpc mod, it's time for an antique chest storage server ;-)
