That was pretty surprising to me! I presume you're buying things off-the-shelf, but even then a borderline useful empty 4-drive Qnap is around 700 EUR. A much more poweful DIY system with 8 SATA hotplug shouldn't be more than 1 kEUR. In comparison, filling it up with cheap 2 TByte disks is at least twice that. In practice you can just get a quote for a BTO supermicro server or rackmount for only a little more. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
