    Build Your Own Atom-based NAS

    Ubuntu Desktop 8.04. The Internet is littered with issues related to this feature, I'm wondering whether I should try a different distro or if this works better on FreeNAS. I really do not want this behemoth sucking power 24/7, but I also do not want to have to switch it off manually and...

    Does FreeNas use the RAID Controller on my SATA Card?

    Thank you for that Tim. So assuming that I do find a way to use the RAID controller on the SATA card (anybody?) and assuming that FreeNAS (or other software RAID solutions) are not using that same raid controller, which would give me better/easier recovery in the following scenarios: 1...

    Does FreeNas use the RAID Controller on my SATA Card?

    Hi, I am about to embark on building my own NAS, based on the articles on this website. The hardware will be based on the series "How To Build a Really Fast NAS" but I am planning on using FreeNas. The question I have is in relation to the SATA controller on the ASUS Motherboard (ASUS...
