Ask Slashdot: DIY NAS For a Variety of Legacy Drives? 260
An anonymous reader writes "I have at least 10 assorted hard drives ranging from 100 GB to 3 TB, including external drives, IDE desktop drives, laptop drives, etc. What's the best way to setup a home NAS to utilize all this 'excess' space? And could it be set up with redundancy built-in so a single drive failure would cause no data loss? I don't need anything fancy. Visibility to networked Windows PCs is great; ability to streak to Roku / iPad / Toshiba etc would be great but not necessary. What's the best way to accomplish this goal?"

The OP is looking to build a giant porn vault. All of the other words in his post are just cover.
Notice how he talks about "visibility" and "streaking". He's got the porn on his mind.
Netflix is very light on the porn, so it is N/A here
Come on guys, we need a modern porn vault solution here, iPorn, Porndroid, Porno on Rails, something big
