If at home you should be using Windows Home Server.

Oh well, keep looking. Hope you can find something that suits both you and the
budget. Let me know what you decide on, ok!

Exactly what I thought, but you can see the commercial side of things. People
think they are getting a lot for thier money only to find that it can not
scale beyond a small number of users.

Yeah, they probably were, but then what kind kind of small workgroup would
need like 6TB of storage...? 8-) It reeks of arbitrary restrictions to me! 8-}

This seems to be the problem with low-end NAS solutions. I found that to be
the case with a LaCie 2TB ethernet box. They say it integrates into AD, but
you are allowed only 100 user accounts and 25groups. Well you might be able to
get around permissions by puting people in groups, but what happens when you
want to create indibidual shares and map them as home drives, then the limit
kicks in. If I remember quite well it is restricted to 20 users max
concurrent. One would argue that these devices were designed for small work
groups.

Was this the ReadyNAS we spoke about earlier? The one with six drives?
Had no idea it wouldn't allow more than 20 concurrent users. Weird... I wonder
why this is...?

Hi Guys,
I am hoping someone can help me out here. I need to get a device that can
store about 1000 students information (NAS) with the required permission, and
grant at least most of them concurrent access. The solution has to be
relatively inexpensive (£1000 - £1500), and about 2TB min, and can integrate
into AD simlessly.
I have looked at the netgear ReadyNAs (Supports about 32000 users, but only 20
concurrent users allowed), same with LaCie. I might prefer one of those
solutions with Windows 2003 Storage server pre-installed.
Thanks
Patrick
