Just use an old PC (works on low spec machines), add in a SATA card if
need be, and your HDD's.
Network attached storage is very simply storage that is available toPer G. Morgan:
I read the features write ups, but am too clueless to understand:
- If it supports redundant drives. i.e. Can it be set up so
that if a drive fails, data is not lost? Two drives?
- If It supports hot-swapping. In the redundant-drive
scenario, can a bad drive be replaced on-the-fly,
or does the system have tb taken offline while the
array is rebuilt around the replacement drive?
- Whether all the drives have tb the same size, or
1, 2, and 3-tb drives can be intermixed without losing
capacity on the larger drives.
- If there is a Hardware Compatibility List that specifies
which drives will work. Or will just about any old
SATA drive do?

Hot swap is a SATA feature. You check that the driver- If It supports hot-swapping. In the redundant-drive

You can use drives with TLER, to avoid nuisance declarations- Whether all the drives have tb the same size, or
1, 2, and 3-tb drives can be intermixed without losing
capacity on the larger drives.
