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...

At work I've been using Buffalo Terastation Pro II 1 and 2TB NAS boxes and have been happy with them as Gigabit connected ftp servers running SATA RAID. Not cheap though, and you probably don't need them to be as portable as we did. Not too noisy.
