Where would one get a Web Server NAS?


Hi, I am planning to set up a web server i.e. a photo album web server. I got two 250GB SATA HDD and would like to get a NAS (RAID 1) to setup a web server. Can anyone please advise which NAS would be the best in terms of Web Server performance and easy configuration. Expert advice would be looked forward! Thank you.

Network-attached storage also considered as NAS is a file-level data storage for a computer system that is connected to a computer network that provides data access to certain heterogeneous clients. NAS is not only operated as a file server, but it is specialized for this task as well either by using its hardware, software, or configuration of those elements. NAS is made as a computer appliance that is a specialized computer which is built from the ground up used for storing and serving files – rather than simply a general purpose computer being used for the role.

If we talk about NAS in terms of performance, here comes down the question of what type of controller you're using. Processor speed, cache, and many other things etc. If we assume you are comparing apples with apples system and the 24-port controller is faster with twice as much cache there is not going to be any major difference with the type of traffic you are talking about.

I will recommend two smaller arrays for redundancy also we can consider RAID. If due to some miracle one controller starts to fail that is corrupting data to disk, so it would not be immediately then you have not lost everything.
