[QUOTE="Lord Nemesis, post: 2081358, member: 632"] As I said before, I have no intention of using Free NAS. It is meant for a different purpose than mine. My OS is going to be OpenMediaVault or XPEnology. Regarding using Raspberry Pi, I have a Pi 2 already and yeah, theoretically you can build a basic NAS using a USB HDD and it will work, but that's about it. From a practical angle its meaningless for me. The LAN is 100 Mbps and USB is also 2.0 and both are handled by the same chip and apparently they seem to be sharing the bandwidth. Its quite easy to choke it and that is what I found after preliminary tests. If it were just reading speeds for video etc. it might not matter, but I would be copying stuff from my main rig too. Further my plan is to have to be able to scale to 9 HDD in my NAS. As I am using a Stacker 830, I have 9 x 5.25" bays and I can technically have up to 12 HDD with 4 x 3 modules or even 15 HDD with 5 x 3 modules. I have 4~5 spare HDD totaling 8~10TB already. I may or may not add all of them at the moment, but I plan to have system in which I can have more HDD and I can switch off/on power to particular HDD based on need. [/QUOTE]
