Hi All,
So my HTPC is all up and ready.
Now the next step i want to do, is a dedicated storage machine. Just for my HDD's. I dont want it as a NAS as of now. But if i want to make it a NAS, it should be done using software without any hardware changes. So please recommend me some Hardware according to that.
As of now, I have around 8~10 HDD's.
This machine is NOT for gaming or HD movies or anything. Just HDD access. With blazing speeds.
eSATA/Port multipliers etc.
I need the optimum cabinet\PSU\Lan\Sata ports possible for this.
The one I have in mind is Cooler Master Storm Stryke for around 12k I guess.
