[DM-MUG] HD FW Storage, RAID or other ideas...

[Matthew W.]

Unless they are HIGHLY improved from a year-or-so ago, I wouldn't  
touch these with a 10-meter high-gain antenna. I've been close enough  
to, though not directly involved with, 2 separate instances of  
complete meltdowns of NAS boxes from different vendors in RAID 5  
(supposedly) requiring Drive Saver-like recovery. Massive data loss  
occurred in both cases and much money was spent. Be very careful.
