Hi All
I need a new NAS which obviously needs to run Sab. My previous one was a Buffalo NAS and I was wondering whether it is better to buy another prebuilt, Synology etc, or, build my own and run FreeNAS, or it could just run Windows or Ubuntu etc. The main concern is that his will be powered up 24/7 and I would like to keep enerrgy bills at a minimum. So would an Atom system be any good. Any one with any suggestion?
For example http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu ... 16&subcat=
Cheers
New NAS

Re: New NAS
Wow, a Atom barebone for only £54.98 inc VAT ? Impressive!
However, the box looks quite bulky to me: more like a mini-towerdesktop than a beautiful, little appliance box...
So it depends: do you have the space to hide this away?

Re: New NAS
Ye I agree it's not the best looking, I'd perfer this http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=12632 but getting more expensive. So, do you reckon the home built is a good way to go?

That machine is only a housing, not a mobo, right? So total price will be much higher.ferry wrote: Ye I agree it's not the best looking, I'd perfer this http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=12632 but getting more expensive. So, do you reckon the home built is a good way to go?
Anyway: it depends on what you want: a plug-and-play appliance, or a machine you can (& must!) tweak-and-tune.
I would buy an appliance if it does what I want it to do, "NZB-downloading"
I would buy a (mini)PC in the other cases, so if you want things an appliance cannot do.

Re: New NAS

Re: New NAS
Let me know which mobo you'll order. The mini-ITX board on http://linitx.com/viewcategory.php?catid=139&pp=137,139 are not very cheap. I still wonder how they can offer a casing + atom-board voor 60 pounds (see your first post).ferry wrote: Due to my urge to mess about with things I ordered the 4 bay NAS housing.

Re: New NAS
Case arrived. So waiting on this mobo now http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=12930. Had a quick search but couldnt source it cheaper, in the UK anyway. 4*SATA ports an IDE for the OS and dual gigabit LAN which might be useful for a NAS/server.
