Here is what I'm looking to do.
I'm looking to do a NAS and looking for the best route. I want to use a raid with 2 or 4 hard drives. I'm going to use raid 1( i think that's what its called) where is makes a mirror backup. I currently use a dell poweredge400sc for my file server. if i want to use it i will have to get a new case as it doesn't have room for 4 drives. Will this server do the job i want? or should i just look at getting another one. FYI this server was designed for 2000. Once i get this done i would like to be able to access this from anywhere to view pictures, video etc. not sure if this part is possible with just 2000 or XP. I was hoping not to invest to much money on new equipment aside from new hard drives Once i move into my new house i will be streaming video from this server too to a media extender. either another PC, x box or ps3. not sure on that part just yet And i know i can do everything with Microsoft homeserver, but i really don't want to invest that kind of money |

2000 pro makes a great little server
stick with it, the 400sc was a decent little server- Ive got a 600sc that just chugs along the 600 has space for 4hdds, 1fdd, and 3 5.25 drives what does yours have? you can get bay converters to stick a couple hard drives in the 5.25 bays |
