Hi,

I might have to replace my home server due to a hardware failure. It's a Tranquil PC unit which I chose because it has accessible disk bays and runs pretty quietly. I have been looking at a few options online but most microservers are sold on their size rather than noise. However, NAS devices look like a good option but I'm not sure which of them either run Linux or can be easily hacked to do so.

The requirements are:
1) Low power. As low as possible, ideally 20-30W.
2) Quiet. Ideally fanless.
3) SSH access for remote rsync backups.
4) 3TB storage. Ideally I would be able to reuse the 4 existing data 1TB disks I have in a software RAID5 configuration.
5) Can run Ubuntu or Debian.

Would be nice:
6) Small.
7) USB connection for printer.

I've looked at Synology and ReadyNAS products but any recommendations would be gratefully received.

Thanks,

Tony
