Hi, Guest
I just finished my new home NAS box with freenas. Not the largest most robust system out there, but i'm more comfortable with hardware failure now. The DNS-323 I had before was great, I didn't spend more than 30 minutes and I had tested drive failures, etc. Setup email notifications, user access and was done.
With FreeNAS theres just too much to play around with.
Intel Atom D945GCLF2 (dual core atom)
1 GB DDR2 Ram
2 Seagate 1TB Drives
1gb USB Drive for FreeNAS
Small ITX case with room for 3 drives.
Rather than using software raid. I am just using rsync to sync one drive to another. Pretty much same as a mirror, to me it just seems so very easy if there's a drive failure to recover when things are setup this way.
I've got many more hours of playing around with this. Anybody play with openfiler and compare with freenas?
