The other series are not meant for 24-7 use.You could use a NAS instead of a server. But if you are running a server, you do not need a NAS. Still, I am looking at a couple of NAS boxes. One called Thecus and the other is called Synology. Both have a two bay NAS that can be set up with RAID 1 (mirroring). I still do not know how they perform under heavy load, but for normal homeuse, they are probably fine.</blockquote>
