NAS Experiment Failed

The NAS experiment failed, due to the machine I was using would detect a 2nd hard drive. This wasnt essential, but as I wanted to make sure the software controlled RAID 0 & 1 worked it made the attempt pointless in my eyes.

Building my very Own Network Server using NAS

I have been toying with the idea for some month now of building a PC just dedicated to being a network access storage. FreeNAS is a free program which is OS independent which turns any computer into a dedicated network storage device. The software allows for RAID which 2 years ago meant nothing to me, but has not only become very interesting, but is now a feature of most modern PC Motherboards.

I have access to several old PCs that I shall strip down this weekend and get it working.

If you are interested in giving it a shot yourself, here is the link;
