To my regret, they wanted 120 dollars just to talk to me, And my bet is that they wanted a different way or $ 1,000 To upgrade the software. Their Web site I could find no way to buy support for a model That's another. And by the way, to add replication between 2 servers Of their duo, it will cost something like $ 1000 per box.

So, here we are, with 2 cases, no support, and I Bet you can not even buy parts for more than From the pair, much less anywhere else (maybe eBay?).

We Out a new way to buy replacements NAS. Originally these 14000's were $ 10K each, for about 1TB of storage. All things Equal, I should be able to buy a box NAS really inexpensive for the privilege (yes!). What I found was that High-quality NAS RAID system would cost between 5 3,500 and 4,500 dollars, not to mention that the duo 1TB will be over $ 520 5K. It's when we decided to build our NAS servers!

With Backround on a computer / server hardware, it was easy for me to choose Top quality components and hardware brand. Still I have a Pentium Pro servers, it works! I chose the hardware Best to put him at Mount server case, Voila! I have a NAS server. Here is the list of components:

We need an operating system now, and so I picked up FreeNAS (target = "_blank"> Http://www.freenas.org) Runs on FreeBSD. You can not ask for more stable system Activation. And by the way, the operating system running FreeNAS memory CF card boots (chance of hard drive crashes And destroy the config). This custom-built NAS system has left Large, our client is very pleased with the money saved Them.
