(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I'm looking at building (from a unused PC) or buying a cheap NAS for home use.

Ideally I'd like it to do


- Use hard drives I have around the house. Some use SATA and some I don't know what the connections are.
- Access it from home over wireless AND from anywhere in the world & from different computers.
- Download/upload torrents remotely
- Store my files. ie Photography, films, music ect..


If you could give me anything where I could build such a thing OR something I could buy for up to £100ish


Thank you for any help. +Rep will be given Enzo

Ah, which one were you thinking of installing? Also, I do recommend when you have the chance to get atleast 4 hard drives.

I only wanted to use a old i3 computer or my quad core AMD for a Freenas because they have no use to me.

Also, If I do like having a NAS I might pay out the money and get a RIAD Smile

In all, you might actually using a NAS as its much more open. I also found this You must login or register to view this content.. It is pretty cheap for a RAID. You might wanna look at this.
