Re: daisy-chaining back up drive?
I am using FreeNas 8 on a Pentium 4 computer that was no longer in use and I can store files from Windows, Mac, Linux and Unix if I want and it is easy to connect to from any computer. Running for 3 months and has been great so far. I plan on getting an ATOM board in the future for lower power usage.
