Configuration?

OK, I've been through the steepest learning curve of my life in the last 2 months. While I worked with BSD & AT&T Unix briefly in 1987, working with DOS & Wimdows 2! I moved away from the tech side and into sales, though rarely a week would go by without putting a screwdriver in a PC or editing a text file several layers deep in some obscure folder structure. I know my way around a PC server and client pretty well, but for a SOHO a NAS and handful of MacBooks suits us all better. I'd always liked the idea of Raid 1+0 which gives you fantastic redundancy. 4 x 1 Tb discs will be a large enough and much cheaper starting point than 2x2 and give me enough storage to be getting on with. I can fill the other two slots when necessary and of course 2 or 4 Tb drives will be cheaper. I realise dual redundancy is expensive but saves you from almost all but theft & fire.

When I learn ReadyNAS & MAC the management overhead will be much reduced and I can move on with ripping media and calibrating display equipment to the prescribed spec.
