I am looking for inexpensive hardware (motherboard) that can be plugged into my network (GbE) that I can use as a network hard drive. I would like a good chipset to talk to a late model SATA drive that is fast, and one that has good Ethernet characteristics. I am having a lot of trouble with the 990FX/Sb950 chipset.<br>
<br>
Basically, I am looking for a good platform to make a homemade NAS using Linux of course.<br>
<br>
Any ideas or suggestions?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div> <a href="http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Hardware_Recommendations">http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Hardware_Recommendations</a></div><div><br></div></div>
<div>FWIW, FreeNAs is pretty sweet. Also look at ZFS pretty hard. It's amazing.</div>-- <br>Douglas J Hunley (<a href="mailto:doug.hunley@gmail.com" target="_blank">doug.hunley@gmail.com</a>)<br>Twitter: @hunleyd Web: <a href="http://douglasjhunley.com" target="_blank">douglasjhunley.com</a><br>
