So I'm contemplating building my own little FreeNAS box as I can't find any cheap off the shelf NAS devices that tick all my boxes )lower power draw, quiet, iscsi support).
FreeNAS is tempting as I'd like to be able to use use iscsi and has been around for a while. I'm trying to figure out whether a little 1st gen Intel Atom mini-itx system has enough oomph to handle the iscsi workload, and whether I'll have any driver issues with mini-itx hardware.
A big goal is to keep power draw down to under 20w total, so I'm, looking at Atom and 2.5 inch drives primarily.
Anyone on here built an Atom based FreeNAS? Pitfalls, recommendations for motherboards?
