So I have recently come into quite a bit of money, but that's irrelevant. Basically my max budget here is 2 or 3 grand, and the less I have to pay at the outset, the more I can pay into it as time goes on.
What I'd like to do, is set up a storage server of some kind on my network, either a standalone nas or a server with a crapload of drives in it, and be able to, over time, do the following:
Host at least 12TB of files over my network, which will be accessible, I hope, by Linux, Windows, XBOX 360 and PS4. If I can get stuff on my phone when on WiFi, even better.
Eventually, add a web server to the mix and allow friends to access/store/have fileshares on this setup.
I'd like to be able to hot-add storage, but am also interested in hearing what the experts here have to say about that capability as well as what, if any, RAID level to use.
Normally I'd come into this with at least SOME internet searching done, but I confess storage is the one gaping hole in my IT knowledge, so I figured I'd ask around here what the best solution would be to doing all of this.
