[QUOTE="georgelza, post: 1718078, member: 258551"] I'm running PLEX on a Netgear ReadyNAS 102 at the moment, fitted with 2 x 2TB drives and running out of space, so looking at the next step, Used for: mostly downloaded movies and TV series and have about 6TB worth of stuff (lots of more movies, 600GB of music and shared documents and photos etc) to get onto a shared resource also acts as our home PLEX server. Options at the moment are: Option 1a - Netgear ReadyNAS 31400, empty, fitted with 2 x 2TB drives that I got. (can it take: Seagate Barracuda 2000GB: ST2000DL003) Want to configure these 2 into Mirror / RAID 1 pair. Will then expand it later with another 2 larger drives, when money allows. I'm working on the assumption that it's best to keep the mirror pair drives the same. Option 1b - Nether ReadyNAS 316000, empty, fitted with 2 x 2TB drives that I got. (can it take: Seagate Barracuda 2000GB: ST2000DL003) Want to configure these 2 into Mirror / RAID 1 pair. Will then expand it later with another 2 larger drives, when money allows. I'm working on the assumption that it's best to keep the mirror pair drives the same, this unit will eventually get a 3rd pair of large drives as available a the time, maybe 2 x 6TB drives Now for storage, once either the 31400 is fitted with 4 drives or the 31600 is fitted with 6 drives and I need more pace: FUTURE Growth Looks like either the 31600 or 314000 can be fitted with a device called a EDA500, looks like a external disk tray that can expand either of the above, Option 2 - Western Digital EX4 - 4100 It comes with the ability to take 4 drives, Does not look as if it can drives externally other than single bay enclosures via USB3 Option 3 - or a HP Microserver It comes with the ability to take 4 drives, Does not look as if it can take drives externally other than single bay enclosures via USB3, nice thing here it's a normal server, I can do what I want to. A Windows, PLEX, SAMBA, iTunes that then public all the music on it via Home Sharing or a CentOS or Fedora build, with PLEX, SAMBA, NFS exports etc. For Options 1, 2 or 3 (CentOS based build) I will need to run iTunes on a windows machine in the house, and point it at the eventual winner, via the NAS share.
