Anybody have any thoughts on it? Or is just easier to install winblows and map the drives on the network?
I have a dual core ddr3 xeon desktop server Im itching to play with. Only worth like 100 on ebay and kinda smashed, so thinking of playing with it.
I can drop a quad in it, but doubt its necessary for file sharing!
So whats the pros and cons of free nas? I see its not raid capable and can boot it off of a usb stick so the server can just run off of memory and maximize the hard drive space.
My router currently supports plugging a usb external into it, but doesnt support smart. So I have to plug it into desktop to see if drive health is good. But otherwise works.
Mainly just movies and games and memories like pictures i keep a redundant back up of.
And the last question is free nas some proprietary format that can be recognized by linux or winblows if the server crashes?
