Bought my first NAS! :D

I am thinking about getting him this: http://www.hotway.com.tw/products/hfr2-su3s2.htm


Does that sound like a solid choice for 4x WD Raptors in RAID 0 over usb3?


He just wants max speed but too cheap to buy 4x 1TB SSD's

You'll have to forgive me because i'm not familiar with the brand, BUT it seems to have all the functionality that you would need. I believe with USB3.0 you're capable of 400MB/s, so speed would be limited by the Hard drives and not the unit itself, which is a good thing. Maybe someone else is more familiar with this brand.

Or maybe I am to simple or dumb! :p

Because my two desktops, netbook, two laptops, ipod touch and android tablet can all access a NAS/server at once, an external hard drive can't.

Nothing... I just really like servers...

Nah I got one then I bought another because it was cheap (but I never even used it yet and got it in November). Then my dad wanted one, so he got one as well.

I was wondering, what would be the actual difference between a multiple bay enclosure HD vs a NAS server, despite the obvious (RAID and speed)
