August 27th, 2007
HotHardware scoped out the new DIY home NAS. They liked the units top-notch Gig-E NAS Performance and that it can hold up to 3TB of storage capacity. It comes with great setup tools, wizards and bundled software utlities. However it’s not without faults, the Cube Station CS407 does not feature hot-swap drives and is expensive for the build quality.Here is a clip:End user demand for storage capacity is expanding exponentially year after year, as multimedia content, email, and document and file generation show explosive growth in this age of new media. In addition, protecting that data is becoming increasingly more critical, with investments in digital music and video collections, as well as those all important family photos and business-critical documents in both the Consumer and SOHO markets. As such we’ve been looking at an array of NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices here at HotHardware over the past few months, many of them designed for do-it-yourself end users. In the following pages we’re going to take a look at the Synology CubeStation CS407 NAS Server. This system comes configured “bare-bones”, ready for installation of up to four SATA hard disks with RAID 0,1 and 5 capabilities. With a max total capacity of up to three terabytes of storage, this unit ought to handle plenty of those cute baby-covered-in-mashed-green-peas shots that the family holds near and dear to their hearts. And with this type of multi-drive product, you can “RAID it up” and rest easy, knowing your backside is covered with at least some level of data storage redundancy. http://www.hothardware.com/articles/Synology_Cube_Station_CS407__DIY_Network_Attached_Storage/?page=1
