I'm looking for recommendations for NAS Hardware.
I have some spare hard disks and want to use them in a dedicated low
power NAS box that should run NetBSD.
My requirements are basically:
. fits 4x 3,5" SATA disks
. Gigabit LAN
. Low Power (i.e. not a desktop PC)
. available :)
Does an HP Microserver count or does that not fit bullet point 3?
Would that be something like: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/253305 (140
pounds after cashback).
mmm nice. Contemplates booting from an internal USB flash and then using all five SATA drives in a raid5 config...
Is anyone on the list running NetBSD on one,
I've a number of them, but watch out for kern/44277.
Many thanks - that has undoubtably saved me a little time this evening! (mine arrived today).
My natural inclination would be to start with netbsd-5 amd64 on it (which starts to take the relevance away from this list :).
and also does anyone have a good pci-e network card recommendation?
I use Intel Pro/1000CT (come with both full and half-height backplates - the HP can only take half-height).
