It was exciting (in fall of 2009) to *about* to have 6 terabytes of storage at my disposal. Many people use a USB stick but I did not want a USB drive sticking out of the back or have to rewire a USB port to inside the case.

The FreeNAS install is only about 40-50MB in size which meant I did not have to install the OS on a hard drive and chose instead to use a 2GB Compact Flash card as my OS drive. Feeling a little risky and wanting to help squash out some bugs I chose the RC version.Д«ooting from CD and installing the OS is simple and takes just a few minutes. Time to install FreeNAS.ДЄt build time, version. I installed Windows XP on one of the drives and ran Bart's Stuff Test on all 6 drives for 5 days and did not get any errors through S.M.A.R.T. Originally I was going to build my own case, while constructing the case I needed to burn in the drives so I put everything together on a table. It has always been simple to use and pretty much a set it and forget it kind of solution. I have been following the FreeNAS project for quite some time and even used it in one of my projects at RIT.

You know when your spidey sense goes off and something just doesn't feel right? For some reason I got that with this product. Openfiler I ran in to just before deciding on FreeNAS and ended up trying it out on a VM. I want a solution that is just click click and use. This option to set up my own services is tempting, but I know me, and I know that I will keep messing with it and keep messing with it and rebuild it hundreds of times. We go way back and hopefully we go way forward. I really like to try before I buy, and they really want my credit card number.

I could run a Windows based server, buy a solution like NASLite, make my own using Red Hat, or try out some open source solutions. The are many possible ways to serve up data through a NAS. The two fan types I chose were because of their low noise rating comparable to the amount of air they moved.

You will also notice an 8 port switch, this was to upgrade from my trusty 100Mb hub.Less RAM means lower power consumption and cheaper chips. Only a gig of memory as from my tests I was never able to stress the memory much.The CPU and mobo combination for the Gb NIC, small profile, no moving parts, number of SATA connectors, and the low power consumption.For the application of this NAS I did not need screaming fast drives (these spin at 5400RPM and have 32MB cache) or the just released (fall 2009) super dense 1.5TB drives (first generation HD? no thanks). I chose the Western Digital Caviar Green drives because of the warranty, positive reviews, effective cost, and because they came with SATA cables.Intel BOXDP43TF LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel MotherboardД-Link DGS-2208 10/100/1000Mbps 8-Port Desktop Green Ethernet Switch Intel Celeron 440 Conroe-L 2.0GHz 512KB L2 Cache LGA 775 35W Single-Core Processor BX80557440 Rosewill FE-A020 Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case SYBA SD-CF-IDE-A IDE to Compact Flash AdapterДЄPEVIA CF12SL-UBL 120mm Blue LED Case Fan SeaSonic SS-300ET 300W ATX12V Ver.2.2 80 PLUS Certified Power Supply Kingston 512MB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS 1TB SATA Hard Drive I also want to keep the financial cost down during the whole lifetime of the device. Not to forget the freedom of being able to choose which software (and hardware!) to use. If a drive fails I want to be able to replace it myself, not send it back to the manufacture. To make this all possible a central and sharable storage medium is needed.

I wanted a way to work outside on my laptop, go inside when it starts raining to play on my desktop, start watching a movie in the living room on a TV, and finish it up on a tablet while in bed.
