NAS or RAID

[Sy]

I've worked with small ones a while back.  I would say that purchasing
a prebuilt NAS device is a huge waste of money compared to building a
Linux RAID storage box.  However, such a regular box needs to come
with a small amount of knowhow and administrative overhead.


As an aside, I understand that the Apple X-serv RAID thingies are good
bang for the buck.  My old work had a couple and administration was
said to be great.  Also, working with huge files was said to be a good
experience.
