[QUOTE="ara, post: 97965, member: 1336"] FreeNAS is very nice with a BT client and a host of other services including a slimserver. The only problem is that FreeNAS (and for that matter many of the Linux OS) loves an Intel NIC over an Realtek. You do get though Intel NIC's to buy for R 250 - R 900 that work very well. I have a FreeNAS box with 8*1.5TB drives and 2x2TB drives running constantly using an Intel Atom based motherboard. You can also get low powered Intel and AMD processors. FreeNAS is able to shutdown your HDD, etc. Other options are OpenFiler, Nexenta, Ubuntu Server, etc. I have to say I have not had one Hardware compatibility issue with FreeNAS so far and it is very easy to use. FreeNAS 8 is going to be even better once they are done (they now have a company that is investing lot of time and money into FreeNAS while still keeping it open source. [/QUOTE]
