Re: NAS raid with Debian?

You are best to build your own, given that the majority of cheap NAS boxes use Freescale ARM or even MIP's chips. The poor little buses in these things are barely able to transport between 10-50mbit between the CPU and attached storage devices. So your performance is always going to be marginal.
