Quoting Steve G., from the post of Fri, 04 Oct:
So I am thinking, maybe I should get an external network drive, or raid, or
NAS, and use it to consolidate my drive and keep all my files in one place
from now onward.
I have yet to see a cheap hardware off-the-shelf NAS that can beat a PC
in
Using a PC as a server has several drawbacks:
1. Size
2. Power consumption
A typical ARM based NAS will usually beat a PC in both categories.
BTW, for backing up pictures, if you don't use the RAW file format, you can
use flickr which offers free storage up to 1TB (you can mark all your files
Still beta but I've just heard about it and it got me thinking about

Marked or not, if you flickr privet it will not
There are plenty of cheap low-power mainboards available...
Intel Atom boards
AMD E-series
ARM stuff (pandaboard, beagleboard, and many more)
So you can build your own low-power solution that will use in the area
of 33W (though if you have lot's of disks I really don't see how you
would get that
Are the drives spinning all the time? If the drives are not accessed
for some time (say, one hour) then I would expect the device to spin

Well that depends on the firmware/OS and the optimizations you add...
In prebuilt stuff I would also
Short answer:
