I just got an email from a representative at Norco Technologies who picked up on our DIY NAS post and refers us to his company’s over-the-top DS-1220 NAS Subsytem – usually purchased by home integrators – that retails for around $799 – $834 [check prices | review]. At first glance, the first thing that came to mind was… Whoa Momma! The DS-1220 features 12 hot-swap drive bays, integrated power supply, 3 cooling fans, and a 4-port eSATA hard drive controller capable of 0, 1, 5, 0+1, JBOD RAID configurations. All that’s needed to bring this beast alive is a motherboard, CPU, memory, an operating system of your choice, and of course a handful of hard drives which you can add to as your needs expand (max. 9TB total).
