Aren't you better off dropping $1,500 on a Synology/Netgear NAS
with a bunch of RAID5/6 7500RPM 2.5TB SATA3's in it and just
giving them 7TB to duke it out over? Surely spending a couple of
days screwing about squabbling over a couple of TB is more costly
than just buying some storage.<br>

+1 to that. No matter what the scale, i've always found buying more
storage cheaper than managing existing storage. (I'm sure there are
issues at the very high end, but most of us don't have to worry
about that.)<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
