[OT] External RAID for home

[Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu]

Hello List,

I need storage for my home network - lots of storage.  It's going to
hold pictures, home movies, music, other bits of data, etc.

I'm looking to start at about 500 GB, but I'd need to eventually grow
that to 1 TB, or more.  I also want something that is quiet, hot
swappable drives (not necessary, but a plus), fairly easy to manage, and
can be directly attached to the network.

I've done my own searching, and so far I've come up with the ReadyNAS NV
+: http://www.infrant.com/products/products_details.php?name=ReadyNAS%
20NVPlus

Is there anything else similar to the ReaddyNAS NV+?

I currently have an Arena Aiby v2 for my small business/home office, but
it's LOUD, cannot be directly attached to the network, and uses PATA
drives.  It's also leased, so instead of buying it out at the end, I
just want to let it go when the lease is up.

All recommendations welcome.

Regards,

Ranbir
