@fl0r1svdk True, but I would at least need more upstream bandwidth. That and something worth hosting LOL.

@hitachi088 This was in 2007. I'm using a bigger system now, and when it breaks, I'm moving to SATA.

@Maxxarcade

i got some 1TB hard drive @ Boxing Day for 65$ dude .

and when you have the money to buy a 50$+++ case and Raid card to make a "cheap" NAS like you did .

you better take an old Normal case for 0$ and buy some real hard drive .
