I am looking for about 6TB worth of storage, do those NAS units run Linux? Not familiar with them. "Network Attached Storage" is what they stand for correct? What kind of operating system do they run?

I need to run simple rsync and mysqldump commands on them to gather files and databases off my server for backups on a daily basis. ut-files.com current sits around the 250GB mark, and it's only going to get larger. My other sites are around the 100GB combined, but the databases are over 100Mb between the two...and with a daily backup on them, they start taking up a ton of space after a while.

Currently I just have a 1TB hard drive on my desktop running CentOS that does the backups for me. I'm wanting to get back on my desktop, now that I have a desk. So I'm looking for a way to backup my data on a more permanent solution.
