Cheepy Nas Box
Hi, Another question.. I have a Ultra 4 Readynas - with 2 2TB drives. I was thinking of buying another cheap NAS and replicate data to this - Wanted to keep costs down to a minimum though...

It depends on what you are using it for. I'm doing my backups at night when speed doesn't really matter as long as you can use incremental backups. That way the backup-nas basically has only a few requirements:
- supports enough disks to place the backup on (for me that's <500GB, so that's not a problem)
- supports rsync
- doesn't destroy your disks
Nearly every nas supports these features these days, though you might have to fiddle a bit to get the rsync working.
