SAS drives and controllers can be had on eBay for relatively cheap. Linus, you've done some work with SSD's in a NAS before and while great for raw speed, for reliability and long term data storage, they aren't really a great option.
SATA HDD's are all fine and dandy but not the greatest of performers. So then, how would a 15K SAS setup compare?
Internal HDD drives are getting obsolete in now day systems.
They are slow, noisy, big, heavy and in most of the cases ruining the esthetics of it all.
A NAS drive is a perfect solution for this problem, but what to buy!?
An $100.- solution is isn't even worth mentioning for the most of us here i guess.
An $1200.- complete solution is with 4 drives all bells and whistles is overkill to almost anyone in consumer usage.
$400-$500 is a nice price range for enthusiasts who care about real world performance in situations that make sense.
A what to look for guide or something like that could be a nice subject?
