Project: Home/SMB NAS Setup -- Need ur advice
-
The Netgear ReadyNAS line has three desktop models that will take eight drives- I don't know if this would help any..
- RN628X - 130tb
- RN528X - 130tb
- RN428 - 80tb
I have a ReadyNAS 4 bay, runs great, little maintenance - thought I suppose I could / should do more with it. It mainly just sits as I am slow working on the project of moving my media over to it.

Diskless, that unit is $2,082.27. That's limited to eight bays. Going with an enterprise server, like an R510, would be under half that price with far more power and flexibility. And not limited to SATA.

I just did a quick Xbyte for this. Really beefy processors (for the class) plus 6TB usable RAID 10 array for $3,000.

With SAS drives?
-
You don't need really beefy processors nor dual processors. Look at smaller, single procs.

No, SATA. SAS would have bumped up the price a bit.

That's odd. normally it's the same or cheaper.

If @markl decides to use a server like R510, would you recommend installing a hypervisor and then setup a VM has a NAS server? -

Virtual. And I think I mentioned that buried in one of my posts about it. Or maybe it was the other thread that this split off of.
KVM, Xen or Hyper-V all work great here. Physical wouldn't be horrible, but no need for it.
