Hi guys
I'm looking for suggestions for building a NAS
I'm quite happy with what I've done with my Raspberry Pi and turning that into my current network storage, and I was thinking that actually I'd prefer to build a little NAS box for my office - just a little SAMBA client, Raid5 on a Mini-ITX chassis with a bunch of 2TB drives
If it goes well, I was thinking of making a quiet one as a streamer for home
I can get a nice little MiniITX with dual core atom processor and and a built in aTI graphics processor that can handle the video playback - there's a spare slot so I can fit a dedicated SATA raid card - but the challenge is actually finding a nice tidy case that doesn't look too brutal
I'm not worried about hot swap drives, as I think they make less noise when fully enclosed
Has anyone done this successfully before?
Cheers
Scott
