CasioJones Posted January 31, 2015 #1 Posted January 31, 2015 I brought a second hand N45L with a 250 h/d from ebay for only £150. Now i have brought a few bits that will let me use 6 SATA drives. However i would prefer to use a SATA 3 based card that has room for 6+1 eSATA. To top that off i cant spend a lot as most of my money is going to be on some WD Reds. Probably mostly 4tb , but i am also getting a 6 as well. I am also getting a better network card , so it can match the speed on my network. Speed is essential as i want to stream 4K Movies from my small bedroom to the front room. So far i have put the latest bios on till i can get the rest of my equipment. I only have a limited budget as my wife will kill me if i spend too much.
XPEH Posted February 1, 2015 #2 Posted February 1, 2015 Do you realize that mechanical drives will not exceed SATA II speed anyway? SATA III will only beneficial with SSD.
MarsManden Posted February 1, 2015 #3 Posted February 1, 2015 Do you have a 10GBit network? Or else the network card in the N54L has no problem with delivering more than 100MByte/s (1GBit/s) . Buy your wife a little nice present instead of the network card - and live a little longer!
