Alright sweet, thanks, so just to clarify, it will function better if I'm running the OS off of it's own drive? And an 80GB WD scorpio will work for this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136129
Just cause I have one right infront of me right now lol
Thanks once again! You've been immensely helpful, so here's my final question (I think), is there software to make a web interface so that I can access my linux server and have more of a FreeNAS style interface instead of having to just SSH into it? It is not necessary at all and really I am...
I'm actually not too bad with linux, I just am really new to servers :P
So I am starting to really like this idea of just going with Ubuntu-12.04.2 server LTS and then adding in ZFS... if I were to add in ZFS would I just use something like this...
Alright thanks for your tips!
I have a license to 2008 SBS... would that work just as well? Or will it not be the same experience as using SBS 2011 or 2012? I don't think I'm willing to shell out $400 for server software... Also are there any websites where I can find plugins and applications...
Thanks,
Can you give me the links to some of the OS's I could potentially run for my NAS server so I could check them out and read up on them? I have an 80GB HDD sitting around my house... could I use that as a OS drive instead?
Also would I need a monitor for the server if I am going to be...
Wow thank you so much!
I will definitely run the OS of a USB drive as I see no reason to do otherwise. As for the OS, do you think FreeNAS will do the job? I am completely open to other operating systems but I don't really know of a lot of NAS OS's aside from a couple linux ones, I am looking...
Ok, so since I am going to spend $350-$400 on driver I am looking to spend around $700 if possible to get a machine capable of streaming and backup going.
thanks,

I am not set on using FreeNAS but from I've read it seems very usable but if there are any other alternatives that you recommend I am happy to check them out and switch over. As I think I stated earlier I am pretty new to this so I am open to anything for this and am just trying to learn :)
I...
Ok thanks!
I am willing to give up ZFS for price but I am not willing to give up transcoding or streaming ability so I guess I will be skipping atom processors. I need the transcoding for streaming to a PS3.
I was planning on using FreeNAS + ZFS and there aren't any specific sizes that I need to fit it into although I guess I would prefer smaller. But size is one of the last things I am taking into consideration.
At the same time at most 2 clients. But not just streaming, I would also use it as...
Hey Everyone,
This is my first post in these forums as I just stumbled across them today through some searching about a NAS server which I am planning to be building so forgive me if I posted this is the wrong section.
Anyways, I read the sticky and here I go:
