How was realword performance on the TeraStation, and did you setup a
Home Server, Standard unit, or Pro model?

*nod* I've set up a TeraStation recently and it's not quite as flexible
-- filesharing only via Samba, no NFS or other fancy doohickery, no
services, just hard drives on a stick. Not necessarily a knock on the
product, but it just is what it is. The Infrant devices have a few more
gosh-wow and multimedia features which may in fact be more appropriate
for a home network.
But this particular client speced out both and bought the Buffalo
because he Just Wanted Space, and seems happy with it.

Thanks. Very similar to the Thecus boxes, but they seem to use
a beefier RISC processor. TomsHardware even has a review on two of them
which seems very favorable. Price is in the same $500-600 range for the
X6 and 600. NV
I may have to revice my thought and look at something like the
Buffalo TeraStation/TeraStation Pro RAID5 which come iwth HDDs. for
700-800 I can get either model with 1 TB of storage. It will cost me at
least that to get my own chassis and put drives in it. The TeraStations
are cheaper then I thought after my discounts.

Nice-looking boxes that meet your requirements. Even better,
they automatically build RAID for you -- put in two drives, it mirrors.
Three drives, it establishes RAID5 automatically, and as you add drives
it expands the array for you.
Slick looking systems, though I have yet to take one for a spin.

As a sample, Thecus N4100 and N4000 below are examples
of what I'm looking for.

-No SCSI drive support needed
-SATA preferred
-GigE required
-RAID1 required, RAID5 preferred
I'll supply my own drives, just need the chassis. Plan
to use this to dump syslogs for 100+ network devices to, so it doesn't
need to be fancy.
