This is probably why I went back to a server. Even if my "server" is some 228 buck netbook.

I was checking on HD prices and they seem high lately. So I am going to use 4 identical 1TB Seagate drives I have for the time being.
Details in order of importance:
- MKV Streaming to PS3 (Currently using PS3 Media Server)
- Speed/Quality
- 2-4 Bays
- $200-500ish
- Ability to remotely download to the NAS (Specifically, remoting
from work and initiating files to download to the NAS without needing to
stay connected or using work bandwidth to first download the files.)
(Falls in like with Online Storage but figured the two ideas were
different.)
- Online Storage (Plus, not necessary)
Mostly, I just want to stream my MKV rips to my PS3. I cant see streaming music because I have more than enough storage
on my iPhone, although maybe in the future. I can see myself remotely
accessing and watching content while on trips, though not often.
Currently, I am running 4 1TB Seagate
drives on my main computer. It's a huge power hog so I am trying to
save money on my electric and wear/tear on parts. Plus, I would like
something that can stay up 24/7.
QNAP, Synology, Iomega and Netgear are the brands I have found the
most favorable reviews for when googling. I am just not sure what I need
in terms of specs (ram, cpu etc.).
Any help would be great!
