Hi guys and gals!
I'm semi-familiar with NAS systems and was wondering if you could help me out here.
My dad recently asked me if I could advice him in a NAS system to back up all his CD's, DVD's and Blu-rays. I'm totaly down to configuring and tinkering with it myself by using FreeNas or something like that.
What has me guessing is the enclosure and the storage capacity since I can't find anything online that gives me a kinda solid answer (For CD's acording to what I could find, it could range between 5 and 200 MB).
He needs to store about 500 CD's (Music, about 20-25 tracks per CD), 50 DVD's (All movies ranging from 1,5-2 hours in length), and about 25-30 blu-rays (Mostly concerts ranging from 60-90 minutes).
He wants to put it in RAID 1, to always have a backup of his files since he's thinking of getting rid of the originals after backing them up on a NAS.
Cost wise, we're looking at about $850 (€700).
Can any of you advice me in what to look out for or what to chose?
Thanks in advance!
