Home grade storage is not business grade storage.

Business grade storage:

• Is more reliable. Look for equipment with more than just a replacement warranty.

• Is built to ensure data us available to mutliple users simultaneously. Speed is a critical factor, ie: how quickly the disk spins to provide you with faster access to data.
