I've been looking for a RAID-5 NAS solution myself. I was leaning toward making my own NAS (slower box with a raid-5 card and slap Linux on it to nfs/smb/http/ftp share). But then I found the ReadyNAS 600. Looks nice. Reviews are spectacular. It is a bit pricy. The only downside is it only takes 4 drives. Was hoping to find a 5 disk RAID-5 + 1 hot spare solution.
<br><br>Tom's Hardware did a comparison between the TerraStation and the ReadyNAS and the ReadyNAS blew the TerraStation away most times.<br><br><a href="http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Reviews-217-ProdID-H2H5.php">http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Reviews-217-ProdID-H2H5.php

Has anyone had any luck using a <font size="-1"><b>Buffalo</b> TerraStation as Recording storage. It can be mounted via smb but the reviews i have read say it is kinda slow.<br>Nathan<br></font>
