[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 97961, member: 122"] When I started off I used Freenas. It really is pretty cool and offers everything you could possibly need in a NAS box, including booting off a flash drive by default. The problem is that they always seem a generation behind on what FreeBSD is doing, so I ran into hardware compatibility issue that just drove me totally nuts. I ended up going to Ubuntu server (real men don't need no stinkin' GUI) and this really took the performance of the box to excellent levels. I'm running softRAID on my 4 * 2TB disks, I've got 2GB ram (no need though) and a celeron CPU with a 35W TDP that sits idle most of the time. It also runs off a dedicated ups that is monitored by the NAS so will safely shutdown when the Mains fails. When idle the box draws very little power so it stays on all the time. [/QUOTE]
