    They are using the IPs and manufacturing equipment that they acquired from WD's necessary sale of Hitachi's 3.5" division. In fact, 1TB models that were already out have been noted as being "shown as Hitachi HDS721010DLE6​30 (Hitachi 7K1000.D) when queried by the controller."

    Building a mini-ITX home NAS

    Do I really need that much horsepower? Right now, absolutely not. However, my line of thinking is that if I desired to move away from Mini-ITX in the future, I'll have a processor which can probably handle triple (or more) of the workload I'd put into it, with the option of going the ECC route...

    Well, the 2100 WAS going for $99 at the time with some rebates, but since that ended I guess I'm going for the 3220 instead! Good catch.

    Building a mini-ITX home NAS

    I need the box to be as small as possible because it's going to be moved between two locations, and while I could let it go a bit larger I'd rather trade in a bit of functionality for portability. (This also means it isn't a 24/7 always accessible box, no need for that kind of availability) I...

    Building a mini-ITX home NAS

    If he's going mini-ITX like I am, it's probably that. I couldn't find a single mobo that supported it. As for the integrity issue, it's a much bigger deal in a production environment then a home one. For the home user, it's better to take the money you would have used for overhauling your...

    Building a mini-ITX home NAS

    Once again, thanks for the input! Yeah, I looked at the Q25B myself but I decided to go as close to a shoebox style system as possible. Plus, I've always wanted to own a Fractal case; I skipped over them when building my main rig last year, and while I don't regret my decision I've always...

    Building a mini-ITX home NAS

    That sounds like an ideal setup for what I want to do. From what I've read, hitting near 100 MB/s using samba is great, and SMB could be even better! (And yeah, I think it's just normal for small files to hit mechanical drives where it hurts.) Do you have your transmission set to do any...

    Yeah, for the 1TBs. I'm talking about the 3TB models. I want to hit at least 10TB of usable space, and with room for just six drives in my case of choice, that's either 6x3TB (For Raid Z2, giving me 12TBs) or 6x2TBs (For 10TBs at a weirdly numbered Raid Z1) 1TB drives just aren't going to cut it.

    Ok, UPS it is. I'll have to do some research before I commit, but that shouldn't be all that difficult. So the EARX drives performed better in a flexraid config? Is it anything specific to FreeNAS that made those disks perform poorly, or is flexraid just a better option for lower performing...

    Building a mini-ITX home NAS

    I've finally run out of space on my main computer, and instead of just slapping another hard drive in there, I figured I'd venture into the realm of NAS boxes. After doing some research, I came to the conclusion that in order to get the features I really want (10ish TBs of space, as close to...
