Asus C60M1-I build - performance

[slth]

Hi,

I am considering building a NAS with the Asus C60M1-I board for the following reasons:

-Cheap (retailing for less than €70)
-Fanless
-6 sata ports
-Low power
-Mini ITX

As the onboard CPU on this board is a bit slower than the E-350 on most other Zacate boards (1,33Ghz in turbo mode vs 1,6Ghz) I am not sure about the performance.
Ideally, I would have near gigabit sequential read and write speeds over CIFS/NFS/FTP.

Would the onboard AMD C-60 be fast enough to accomplish this goal?
Any other thoughts on this platform are welcome as well

Thanks in advance

My NAS :



Golden Field 3205B
Asus C60M1-I
Kingston DDR3-1333 4096MB PC3-10600
4* Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001-9YN166
GlacialStar IceWind 12025 Sleeve
GlacialStar IceWind 9225 Sleeve
Chieftec APS-500S
SanDisk Cruiser Fit 8Gb (for nas4free)


is used as a file server (NAS) то SMB and NFS, DLNA, torrent downloader, etc

In practice, it turned out that:
- download five torrents speed 20Mb put a strain on the CPU by 20%
- Reading from the NAS with speed 300Mb - 45%
In sum, I was more than enough.

P.S. Not enough for DLNA transcoding

Just bought a C60 myself for a basic 6 drive setup.

Rimlyanin, what os did you go with?
