Lots of storage

[ciphergoth]

If I buy one of these: and five of these:

and stick it all together using Linux software RAID, will that work as a relatively cheap (£370) 2TB RAID-5 storage array?

Will it be very noisy, and if so, should I be looking at getting one of these too so I can stick it in another room?



As you might imagine, I'm giving the whole question of backups a lot of thought at the moment...

Hmm, I was tempted by that, and I wondered if it was hackable - cheers! If I build my own, it'll be £300 or so cheaper, and I can put the TV card in it. OTOH if I buy a Terastation it will work...

Twonkymedia runs on the Terastation.. :)
