Install all hardware.\r\n#. Download freeNAS and install on compact flash as embedded.\r\n\r\n   * Embedded limits the OS from reading and writing to the compact flash card and therefor increases life expectancy.  Instead RAM is used for swap and temp files.\r\n\r\n#. Build a raid 1 (mirror) disk array with 300gb drives.\r\n#. create any user accounts and share points.  In my case SMB.\r\n\r\nend result\r\n-----------\r\n\r\nInexpensive professional grade NAS.  All data is backed up locally.  If one drive fails replace it with a good drive and the array rebuilds itself.  Only uses 15-30 watts of electricity, feel good leaving it on 24/7.  Very fast response and transfer times.  Very Stable.  ushare allows streaming to xbox or other media extender.  Overall I'm very satisfied with this project.  I will eventually be purchasing larger drives, its nice to know I can swap one small drive for a larger one and have the array rebuilt itself.\r\n\r\nreferences\r\n------------\r\n\r\n* http://freenas.org\r\n", "source_format": "rst", "revision_number": 1, "created": 1276973358000}}
