Real NAS is what the people want.

Though, 1TB drive costs $70, what exactly is Netgear doing with the remaining $150?

Right now, I'd prefer connecting my USB hard drives to a $79 Fonera 2.0n http://english.martinvarsavsky.net/general/launching-the-fonera-20n.html]]>Sep 21st 2009 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/Sep 21st 2009 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/I could build an Intel Atom based PC running freenas and kit it out with drives for less.

If you put in another 1 TB drive can you have 1TB of storage in a raid 0 setup?

Can you still access the NAS over the internet without the 19.99 and is that a month or a year for the fee.]]>Sep 21st 2009 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/Sep 21st 2009 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/]]>Sep 21st 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/
I realize FreeNAS isn't for everyone, but it's getting there.

I was pretty disappointed about was the fact that an empty drive bay storage system cost upwards of $200 and could only house 4-5 drives.
I wasn't about to shell out the cash for an empty nas that couldn't even hold all of my drives . So I dug up an old AT power supply for additional power and installed it into an old computer case to house all of my drives directly next to the P4 machine. It isn't pretty, but the whole thing hides in the closet anyways and is probably far cheaper than what I would have had to pay if I wanted the commercial enclosure.
Overall it has served well with XBMC and was far cheaper than what is on the market now.

Basically, a NAS USB drive hybrid, so you could access files locally at USB/firewire speeds, but still access the device over a network link?

Maybe you could achieve this by leveraging TCP/IP over firewire?

I just have never found a device that would do this.]]>Sep 21st 2009 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/]]>Sep 21st 2009 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/Sep 21st 2009 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/Sep 21st 2009 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/
RAID-0 is pretty much an oxymoron (there's no redundancy). RAID-1 is just an expensive way to do real-time backup.

With 3 disks, you could do RAID-5 and have some actual redundancy and protection when one of those 1TB disks inevitably goes bad. Heck, I'd even settle for a box with no internal bays and 3 USB or eSATA connectors.]]>Sep 21st 2009 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/Sep 21st 2009 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/netgear-delves-into-consumer-nas-market-with-229-1tb-stora/Sep 24th 2009 1:10PM
