I’m thinking again on how to expand my home storage and computing capacity in an economic way. That uhm… means the cheapest way possible, let’s call it the Google way. It will not be my primary “working network”.
One interesting thing I found was the http://www.addonics.com/ NAS adapter range. For about 40 euro it can click in e.g. an usb disk in the network along with even having some linux functionalities. It means that I could have e.g. a 1 TB WD disk for 80 euro. A usb HD case for 25 euro and presto for 40+80+25 euro = 145 euro I have a NAS disk of 1 TB.
But… since 8 of these will require a GB switch I will have to add 50 euro (cheap 8 port GB switch) / 8 = 6 euro to the cost making to total let’s say 150 euro per TB NAS.
Let’s it make it a challenge to find a cheaper NAS solution / TB or rather… the cheapest (if shipping costs are involved to the Netherlands I need to take these in account too).
WHO FINDS A CHEAPER SOLUTION?
