    Building a NAS rig


    Hi,

    I'm thinking about building a NAS rig. Not so much worried hardware, and in fact have a complete i7-950 system with12 gig of RAM just sitting in my closet looking for something to do.

    What I'm curious about is the software side? I ran across a free software called FreeNAS and wondering if anyone has any experience with it or any other NAS software I should look at.

    Suggestions/Thoughts?

    Thanks

    :)

    Building a NAS rig

    Buy/Build a NAS

    I am looking to build or a buy nas.
    I am looking at the Synology DS413/DS1513+.

    Things I absolutely want out of my nas:
    • Synology Hybrid Raid (SHR) equivalent functionality.
      IE, mixing of drive sizes, and ability to expand SHR array after it is built.
    • Device works as a drive via USB 3.0.
    • Read speeds at or over 200 mb/s over usb 3.0
    Is there an Linux distro, or other OS I can use to whitebox a nas with the above features?
    I have enough parts sitting around to build a nas, but I want the advantages of SHR.

    Thanks for any NAS software knowledge in advance.
