CasioJones Posted January 31, 2015 Share #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 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarsManden Posted February 1, 2015 Share #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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
