A Terabyte NAS for the Masses: Buffalo TeraStation Home Server

Summary:
Shopping for a terabyte NAS box can be conflicting. You wonder: "Should I build my own? Hard drives are so cheap these days, and I am so gifted with technology! It would be a waste of talent not to…" Add up the cost of drives, a motherboard, case, RAID controller, gigabit Ethernet card, backup software, and the numbers might come out in your favor maybe by a wide margin. Then again, they might not. Companies like Buffalo Technologies have set their sites on the low-cost NAS market with the intention of changing our minds.
