[QUOTE="Telstar, post: 197297, member: 58593"] Well, I dont need a NAS right now, just forethinking. I'm putting 2TB in the HTPC and that should last 1-2 years. After that I'll decide which capacity I need for the NAS, which may be a true server or not. If I need only 4TB, I can just buy a Thecus 5200 as they have excellent performance. If I build my own, I'll need at least 8 if not 12 disks. and raid6, not raid5, for which the IOP 341 would be more indicated as it is optimized for the higher load that raid6 requires. The price of the controllers with IOP341 is much higher. Lastly, they are pci-e 8x and the motherboard must also have at least 2 pci-e 8-16x. [/QUOTE]
