I have a client who's SBS 2003 box is soon to run out of space. We can't add any more drives, and are using external drives for additional offsite backup protections so im looking at a NAS solution.

Currently they use S: for general docs, and T: for technical, however they link into 50Mb+ XLS files, and when you have 30 odd people running xls formulas it tends to slow everyone down.

It may be easy to drop a 1Tb NAS box on the network, however im thinking about 2 x 750Gb which I can mirror, yet one share one folder from each drive to help offset the I/O activity. (see above)

Does anyone have any advice on mirrored NAS but with the flexability of sharing only one folder from each side yet keeping everything in sync...incase one of the NAS units fails. 

thanks
