Hello all: I was looking at the NAS minis, and while they look amazing they're also way expensive. I was interested to see if someone has a good solution for a cheap small NAS system that I could either build or purchase that wouldn't cost nearly as much. I'm looking for freebsd-compatible hardware with at least a gigabit ethernet card. I'll be dropping in the harddrives, I'm thinking raid 10 (though it doesn't have to be--I just wanted the striping for a larger disk space plus redundancy via mirror), with maybe 4 2 tb drives. I'll be using stock FreeBSD on this: I have no clue how accessible the FreeNAS web frontend or any of the other software would be for something like this with a screen reader. Any thoughts/ideas would be awesome. Thanks, -- Take care, Ty http://tds-solutions.net He that will not reason is a bigot; he that cannot reason is a fool; he that dares not reason is a slave.
