Recomdation for NAS

8 public posts in this discussion.

My work requires a NAS for storage of business files with redundancy - ie Raid 1 or 5, and automatic backup of files.
The auto backup is for 'retardation' of certain staff that work in the company that find a folder shortcut apparently too.. no no way too hard to use.

Am after something up to the 1k mark. HDD may have to be an additional purchase.

Currently the QNAP ones on PCCASEGEAR look good but am keen to know if anyone else has or uses something else....

^^ agreed on a Thecus. Currently I run a Thecus 1U4500 at home.
Thecus 1U4500S 1U Storage Server, 200W Single PSU, 1.5GHz Celeron M

Also I believe you can download the Thecus backup util, which will install onto client machines and back up the required files.
