Can you recommend a sub £150 easy to setup nas storage device that has acceptable tranfer speeds (western digital passport sort of speeds.)

If you want a significantly cheaper RAID 0 or 1 NAS then I must point peeps at the Netgear ReadyNAS Duo.

Available empty for under £160, you can slot in a pair of Terabyte drives (£60 each) for either 2Tb RAID 0 or a mirrored (RAID 1) 1Tb. All for under £300. Specs are superb and with the latest firmware will act as a "Time Machine" backup device for Apple computers. Support is good with regular firmware updates with fixes and new features and community support is good too - useful for knowing which harddrives work well.

Best of all, until the end of June, you can get a free 500gb drive by sending a form and a copy of your receipt to Netgear.

And yes, I own one, and absolutely love it.

About NAS units, I recently acquired a D-link DNS-323 which isn't bad, copies from the device run at anything upto about 20MB/sec, but transfers to the NAS are only upto about 12MB/sec, this is on Gigabit LAN with a really nice 3Com Gigabit hub and 4K Jumbo Frames set up. This is the fastest it will go.

What I really want is something that can give me 60-100MB/sec transfer speeds, with RAID1, how much is that going to set me back and what would hardware specs would I need please anybody? I have some nice Samsung drives in there too which I would obviously keep.

My ReadyNas Duo runs at about 22MBytes/sec. I haven't tried with jumbo frames yet (I keep forgetting to give it a go).

@xenos

The charts at: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/component/option,com_nas/Itemid,190 should give you an idea of what to buy and cost.

Hope that helps
