Greetings,
After a couple years of thinking about it I've finally decided that I need a NAS to manage my photography as well as music files. It will be a pretty basic setup, especially at the beginning. I only need about 2TB of storage right now but that will increase each year as I process more images and add music. It will be primarily editing/backing-up images on my main desktop. I may want to connect my laptop from a different location in the house. I will also stream music to my Squeezebox but beyond that I don't plan on streaming a bunch of content to multiple devices. I have a budget of $500-$700 max and want to build something that will get me going and allow for expansion over the next few years.
I'm a definite noob when it comes to this but I have built a couple of desktops so I'm not afraid of the process. There are so many options out there so I was hoping to get a few suggestions on some components that might be a good start. Any help sincerely appreciated!
