@John, I suggest you look at the goal which is it; protect your data or to add more storage capacity for your users? R D On Mon, Feb 3, 2014 at 4:17 PM, Benson Maina <bensonmaina@gmail.com> wrote:

Talk to the Synology guys and let them work out a NAS solution for you. Don't use RAID1 at all as suggested! :-) You need a resilient, redundant storage, which can be 'grown' if needed. Synology has it and Josy Ngatiah is lurking here somewhere. On 3 February 2014 16:06, John Swekenyi <johnswekenyi@gmail.com> wrote:

Purchasing a server for purely backup would not be the best use of resources, as most servers, even enter-levels one can do much more that backup. I second the Synology NAS solution. They have one of the most nimble and intuitive web interface, and a solid OS for the NAS systems. Plus the storage options are limitless, and you can configure your setup in a way that suites your needs. Plus you can do other staff with the Synology if you are small office; DNS, DHCP, Media Server, Downloads, Antivirus. On Tue, Feb 4, 2014 at 2:38 PM, Peter Mugoh <pkmugoh@gmail.com> wrote:

be careful of the drives you select too. I found out the hard way, luckily nothing vital was lost: http://techreport.com/news/25940/hard-drive-reliability-study-names-names On Tue, Feb 4, 2014 at 3:35 PM, Philip Musyoki <pmusyoki@gmail.com> wrote:

Synology will always advise that you use Enterprise HDD. One thing I've always wondered is what makes these enterprise drives better, yet they just have the damn rotating disks like the others... On 4 February 2014 15:54, Kevin G. Chege <kevin.chege@gmail.com> wrote:
