I had posted a while back that I had been having issues with my OWC thunderbolt
drivebay and was looking to upgrade. A friend offered me a good deal on his
QNAP 458a 4-bay NAS.
I loaded it up with four 16T WD drives as RAID 5 and 16G of RAM, which gives me
something like 43T of storage. I
Couple of thoughts:
1. Take a look at tomshardware.com - even though the site became a bit
too heavy my taste, it has very reasonable reviews and comparative tests
of various hardware. I think they had a recent one for NAS as well.
2. Just in case: keep in mind that LightRoom catalogs cannot
, this is not really an obstacle. You can
simply back up the LR catalog on the NAS at any time. This is what I am
doing - each time LR makes a backup of the catalog, I simply copy it
away immediately to my disk box.

that's OS-independent, - as somebody attributed it to the SQLite
database that is used by LR.

Actually I think it is configurable. In particular, if you simply keep
your catalog on the NAS box, then the LR will automatically makes its
backups there. I am not entirely sure

I'm planning to implement one NAS for my storage also.
Custom made, and probably with replication over network to another NAS.
If you have some unused older PC, with ports for SATA disks, then you
can install Openfiler. Freeware.
Otherwise, i have heard that Drobo, works good.

Here is a site that you may find interesting:

I built an Unraid NAS a few months ago and it's doing fine. I think the
free version is limited to three drives (two data and one parity drive).
The box is booting from the OS on a USB stick. I built a Freenas box
last year with a P3 motherboard but the throughput was way too slow
I read that as Dobo and my mind just couldn't take it for a moment there...

if you have a machine that is always on, you probably don't need Network
Attached Storage -- cheaper, and potentially faster, to just hang some
drives

I have my archives living on a 1.6TB NAS for backup (in a Linksys
NAS200 box), I have a second 1.6TB drive (actually a JBOD Array)
locally for actual work.
