But again, with prices like that, I guess that if on a thin budget, then one can buy the Disks and build the appliance from scratch? On Tue, May 8, 2012 at 8:47 AM, Evans Ikua <ikua.evans@gmail.com> wrote:
@Geoffrey, you are right - wow, a 4GB NAS eh?
My client is a small NGO, with data thats growing more than exponentially. With about 10 users, about half of them aleady have filled up 300GB in their laptops. So am looking for a NAS that can be used as a central file server, maybe run Alfresco or FreeNAS on it. This am am hoping to experiemnt and seee which will do the work better. @Washington, redundancy on the NAS is not my major a major issue, as what am planning is to have a backup of the same in yet another similar appliance, maybe stored in a separate office in the same office block. This should be able to compress and encrypt the backup data. This is where am thinkiing that FreeNAS is going to be better than Afresco but am not sure. Anyone done this before?

Evans am assuming you mean 4TB or 8TB i can get you an 8 TB for close to 150k , but you really need to define more, because nowadays the features included dictate the price since some have the apple protocol for wireless synch and all sorts of features to iscsi support on the NAS ...

@Evans,
What redundancy options do you expect with it?
