[QUOTE=Goz3rr;31957246]If you don't want the raid card in your computer, you'll either going to have to build a separate pc (Single core will do for that) to house the card, or going to have to go with such raid enclosures.[/QUOTE]
These raid enclosures still use raid cards. If the cards are small, It might not be an issue. Especially if it's simply going to be a dual eSATA card with no internal headers, then that's fine. I just don't want to be blocking fans.
an atom board'll do
IIRC there's an asus atom board around with 4 or 6 sata ports and 2 GBit lan ports

Do they? I thought i read they came with a eSATA pci x1 card incase you didn't have any eSATA ports..

I'm saying these boxes have raid cards that come with them... that you install in your system. I'd probably spend 200-300 on a decent eSATA port multiplied RAID controller instead of the one they have. I want to do RAID5 or 6 for it.
I could build a seperate system, but my concern is the interface. I want it to act like an external harddrive. I was going to do a NAS and run it on wireless from somewhere in the house, but I thought having it actually hooked up would be better for my needs. So that asus board is fine, but how do I simply wire it up to my system.

Afaik the only way to share a computers harddrive through a cable is either:
Mac's firewire mode, which isn't an option here
A regular cat5 cable (AKA a regular NAS).
A gigabit switch

It looks like i'm gonna have to break out a soldering iron for this backlight on my laptop.
LETS DO THIS.

Yes. Probably just using a gigabit switch will be the easiest and fastest way if you don't want any expansion cards in your main pc.
So I could set it up like a highspeed server right next to me? and simply have it run gigabit to a switch and then to my system? Can I do that easily separately than my current wireless network I use for my internet and main devices?
I work with networking at work, but there is a lot I don't know.
Edit: Wait, I'll also be limited to 125mb/s right? Ugh, there doesn't seem to be any real perfect solution. I should have bought a bigger motherboard.

Correct my if i'm wrong, but you could probably leave the switch out and use a crossover cable?
You don't even need a crossover cable with most NIC these days. They can figure it out and do it on their own, also what types of speeds were you looking for, BRT?
Well, if the raid was setup well enough and could be done, I'd like to be able to record video to it and edit on it. I normally use my current 1.2tb RAID0 for editing and capture, if I could move to a massive like 6-9TB high speed external box that would be perfect. i could stop worrying about finishing projects just to use up the footage.
Perhaps If I went with a NAS for backup and do a RAID10 with four 2TB drives and leave it at that. This way I could stick to my awesome (so far) onboard Z68 RAID system.
A USB 3.0 or maybe SATA Raid enclosure surely would be fine, right?

[editline]26th August 2011[/editline]
oh right you already said that, but still USB 3.0 is up to 5 gbps which should be plenty, and not all of them require raid cards
Anyone else notice puush doesnt like to screencap the taskmanager or properties windows?

But for those enclosures, the USB3 doesn't do RAID, simply JBOD... I think.
I think I'll build my NAS like normal with maybe six 3TB drives in RAID 5 or 6, then I'll dump all my data on my normal mirror to the NAS. Then I'll replace my drives in my current system with 4 maybe 6 drives 2TB maybe and then do a RAID10.
This way, I have enough space in my current system. With it being super fast, and redundant, then I have additional security with a secondary location for median backups from all my devices. I could also use the NAS as a bittorrent client and just store it on there.
Classic was the issue:

This one says it has "True hardware RAID design within the enclosure, no driver and no additional RAID controller needed."
very interesting..... But reviews say it's not very fast. NEVERMIND.....

Sorry, but I chuckled slightly at that, since most of FP were trying to make you stop using Classic. :v:

You should just build a cheap system and throw linux on it, with a hardware RAID card.

Why would speed matter for a home NAS? Think about it. RAID 5/6 is already going to be a major speed improvement over a single drive. Any latency or bandwidth limits the NAS has are going to be well above what the individual drives are capable of.

That link was if I were considering going the non-NAS route, with just a giant fast external harddrive.
The other idea I was throwing around was a big NAS and then replace all my harddrives in my computer with a giant RAID10.

Good news, everyone! I am reinstalling windows in about an hour or two once my 250-300 gigs worth of shit gets moved to my external.
Meanwhile I might fire up some movies I've yet to watch and eat some rice/chimichangas.

You rich kids and your external HDDs
I'm about to run out of DVDs for my backups, 100 wasn't enough :v:
in other news, my school is trashing all of the crappy powerpc macs and i might snatch one to screw around on
