Hi all. I'm helping my father-in-law set up some network storage at
his house, and I am looking for some recommendations.
They currently have an iMac with a 300GB drive. They want to add some
capacity, and the ability to fully backup both their iMac and the new
external storage. I've been looking at an enclosure like this :

I was thinking of getting a 500GB drive (for extra primary storage)
and a >800GB drive (for backup). Configuring the NAS as JBOD rather
than RAID, I think this will suit all their needs pretty well. We'll
also get a gigabit ethernet switch to keep things moving quickly.
Any other configurations you think might be better? What should I
look for in the drives themselves?
thanks,
alex
