External HDD vs NAS appliance vs DIY NAS

[jerknolblerdek]

Balik nasad ko pangutana kay murag nalubog nato akong thread pero lahi nani nga questions.

Asa mas cheaper ug nindot (fast, reliable) External HDD or NAS appliance or DIY NAS

Here are the list nga ako kailangan:

• Download torrent files (24/7 I guess if dako2 ang files ipang download)
• Backup important and multimedia (160gb music files and some videos)
• Can access it through LAN/Wifi
• Can access it via iTunes (for my iPod)
• Should be fast

Optional:

• Can create system image/backup windows 7 copy

Portability is not an issue kay pwede rako wala na nga mga files while I'm on mobile.

Boss, murag dako2 ako ma budget ani dah. Ganahan lang unta ko ug second hand nga mga items nga low powered + 3/4 SATA ports. I guess I don't need the HTPC capability unya maka buhat ko sa akong gipang mentioned sa thread description.

then kani palita :

AMD LLANO A4-3300 (2.5 Ghz) 1,450
ECS A55F2 M3 GL DDR3 with AVL 1,795

+ 2Gb RAM + 1TB HDD

2nd hand casing + PSU

++

being an HTPc is a plus , just connect it to ur LED TV and ur done

use win8 for better power management



but the Best option is : buy second hand dualcore netbook with big HDD

NAS appliance < IMPLIES BIG BUDGET!

^ Crossout dualcore netbook sa option kay butangan nako ug 2TB HDD (+ 2TB for future upgrade).

Kana imong gipang mention kay maabot na ug 5k + True rated PSU (- 2 TB HDD)? Plano ko install ug opensource OS para NAS.

Torrent Router + External HDD will do the job. I am using Asus RT-N16.

• Download torrent files (24/7 I guess if dako2 ang files ipang download) ----- YES
• Backup important and multimedia (160gb music files and some videos) ----- YES
• Can access it through LAN/Wifi ----- YES, I can watch downloaded movies directly sa akong TV (with wifi dongle), Smartphone and Tab (via BSPlayer Android App)
• Can access it via iTunes (for my iPod) - YES
• Should be fast ---- Average

Akong gi dispose akong NAS kay mas makasave ko ani nga set up in terms of energy and $$$$
