Hi,
Building a NAS system using 6 HDDs and serving via NFS, SMB, FTP, iTunes and SSH. It's going to be running ubuntu headless.
The questions are:
1. What kind of power supply is 6 (looking towards 8 maybe) HDDs going to need? 10W a piece?
2. What kind of processor is going to be needed to serve over gigE (looking at 20MBps sustained as a minimum)?
The choices atm are K6-500 / 92MB RAM, P3-700 / 256MB RAM and AMD 2800 / 256MB RAM.
Cheers,
dgr
