I'm contemplating a NAS to server shared data files to an office / call centre of about 25 users. Currently they use one shared directory on a Windows 2000 server which is running on an ancient Systemax PC.
My thoughts are that RAID 1 or better is advisable along with scheduled backups to an external USB HDD, and that a UPS for orderly shutdown / surge avoidance would be prudent. These features appear to be on offer in dedicated NAS boxes (subject to me RTM to check the reality). Or would it be better to build something on a microserver ? Anything to avoid or recommended as I've heard tales of very variable performance from commercial NAS boxes. Phil
