There is no need to have my computer running in the background. I am currently streaming music to my Sonos units (using playlists from iTunes) and ripped movies and TV shows (from DVD) to my AppleTV2. I can attach two more DX510 expansion units for a total of 45TB of JBOD storage. I also bought the Synology DX510 which is an expansion unit that also holds 5 3TB drive bays. Look at Synology I just bought the DiskStation DS1511+ which has 5 drive bays that hold 3TB drives each. and much better than when I tried any other solution. keeping iTunes running on the computer is trivial. I have not found anything even remotely comparible for NAS and other home server solutions. I use crashplan+ which costs only about $3/month for unlimited offsite secure backup. I can use very inexpensive cloud storage for off-site backup. I am ready to decommission the RAID box because it is totally redundant and a power hog. With TB, it is essentially unlimited while retaining native performance.

but next year I'll need to upgrade to a 3TB or 4TB drive. My primary data currently resides within the 2TB drive. I have simplified my environment to include a single iMac as my "home server". One of the biggest reasons I like it best is because it is the easiest, and least expensive devices to keep backed up.

I have come to the conclusion that the best home storage system is a computer that stays powered on 24/7/365. I have owned many NAS, RAID5, Home Servers, etc (22TB worth).
