[QUOTE="reeman, post: 989683, member: 14237"] +1 or openmediavault I have been down the NAS route recently. For years i ran my own DIY nas using freenas and openmediavault. I thought i would go the commercial route. I tried a small 2 bay Synology and then realized i need more drives, then went the drobo route and while its nice it was a bit limiting with the ssh commands. I got it to do what i needed but it was a mission. I decided to go back to openmediavault and purchased a few more drives. I am now running this with unionfs and snapraid. It gives me some level of redundancy and my transfer speeds are no longer between 200mb (drobo) and 400mb (synology) i get full gigiabit speeds. While for most 200-400mb is perfect and under most circumstances it is for me i realized the limitation when i had to transfer 1.7TB of data to those NAS devices. This isnt something that happens regularly it just happened at a time when i really couldnt wait for the data to be done it needed to be faster. Not sure if this helps at all, just sharing my experience [/QUOTE]
