I'm thinking about purchasing a BYOD NAS system, and I'm wondering what
ones folks have gotten running with NetBSD, if any.
My goals are
1) performance - I want to serve homedirs and tools off it, so
performance is important to me
2) extensible -- ideally NetBSD is ported (or can easily be ported)
to it. I want to run
3) power consumption. low consumption is important
4) cost. i don't have a fortune to spend on this.
5) USB 2.0 extensibility.
6) internal IDE drive (performance and power indicates this)
I wouldn't complain if it had hardware crypto for VPN (or maybe WLAN) or
somesuch, but those are lower considerations.
Any particular suggestions? I know about NSLU2, but its external only,
and frankly, at the lower end of the performance spectrum. What I don't
know is what other ones can run NetBSD.
Thanks!
