dummptyhummpty Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I just bought a new Linksys WRT610n and want to get my network file storage situation settled. I have two 500GB drives that I was using in Raid 1 with a cheap PCIe raid card. The computer it was in is being used elsewhere, so now I have a few options on how to set this all up: Buy two USB enclosures and connect the drives directly to the router. Put the drives and card in a spare eMachines (AMD 64 - PCIe). Connect the two drives directly to the mobo. Connect the two drives directly to the mobo of a spare Dell Poweredge 750 (P4 - no PCIe). I'd like to use some of the space for backups (Time Machine) and the rest for media storage (some of which is valuable). I also have a spare My Book 250GB drive that I would like to use with this setup as well. What's the best way to get all of this setup? The computers accessing the storage will be: MacBook Pro (Wireless N) PowerBook G4 (Wireless G) AppleTV (Wireless N) Linux PC (Powerline Adapter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
