After looking at some of the NAS solutions on the market I think I will be able to built something that is more feature rich and cheaper.
I want it to be very tiny. Support 4 drives in mirrored RAID, hot swappable, have USB 3.0, maybe even HDMI and WiFi. I basically want the case to be hardly any bigger than the drives themselves. I will be moving this thing around because I seldom live in one place for very long. Or maybe I could set it up at a friends house and access it via the internet or ftp or something. Not sure how that would work.
I want to be able to create a system image of my laptop on it and then incremental images every single night so I never have to worry about losing data and losing work.
Being able to use it as an htpc, media server, file server, are bonuses.
What would be really cool is be able to install something like a fast core i7 and 16GB of RAM and maybe even run Windows on it and work on things like Adobe Premiere remotely from my tablet or ultrabook via remote desktop?
Any recommendations for parts?
