    Looking for a cheap NAS chassis for at least 3 x 3.5" sata drives ( I have 2 disks already )

    Found thecus and others on ebay but €500 :eek:

    anyone know of any cheaper devices ?

    (Note do not want a normal PC or server ..too power hungry )

    The cheapest option probably is a Buffalo TeraStation Live, €320+, comes with 4x250GB disks. The Western Digital ShareSpace 4000GB, looks interesting but I haven't looked at any reviews or details.

    There is (or was) a seller on adverts that pushed some of the Buffalo enclosures. Might be worth a look. This was in November or December 2008 and based in Cork.

    Edit: The guy has been banned.

    If you want to buy them locally:
    http://maxburns.ie/start/sata-3.5.html
    http://www.marxcomputers.ie/ - go to storage section

    Otherwise the usual ones like komplett, pixmania...

    filled it with disks .. but not impressed with the buffalo .. very slow even over GB network, getting about half the speed of USB. It's a terastation pro so maybe subsequent editions are faster.

    I might take it off your hands if you don't want it.
