Greetings,
I've had success with the Synology DS1511+ units in the past, which to
my knowledge run busybox, but I was considering building my own to
reduce the cost. Has anyone had any success building their own 4-5
bay NAS units? I've looked at FreeNAS which certainly has all the
services I need but I'm not sure the best route to go with regards to
form factor, etc.
I guess it depends on what your criteria is. A barebones system with a
bunch of sata bays and a goodly bit of RAM won't set you back too much.
The next part depends on what you call a NAS.
How do you plan on sharing storage? iSCSI, NFS, CIFS? Do you want to
share music, movies, or any non-file based services? How do you want to
administer it?
Thanks,
Matt
