Selecting a NAS and drives

[galta]

Hi,

I intend to setup a NAS for home purposes (video/photo storage, plus backup of personal files) so I need advice on NAS and disks.
No significant budget constraints, but there is no need to waste money, right?
Thanks,

Galta

For drives, Hitachi 2/3TB offers the best price/performance as well as high reliability. RAID5 is the best in terms of redundancy- 75% capacity of the four disks and if one disk fails you don't lose data.
