Decided to nuke my Windows 7 box and use it for a FreeNAS system. Blew it away on Thursday after making sure there wasn't anything of value on it (there wasn't) and installed FreeNAS.

Set FreeNAS up on the SSD and configured a single volume for a Time Machine AFP volume. It was amazingly simple to set up and configure. Lots of goodies in there that I won't use but could be very useful for someone who is supporting a lot if different platforms.

Works like a champ, MUCH faster than my crappy DLink MAS-345 NAS that I've not been happy with. As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to pull a couple of the drives out of the DLink and put them in the FreeNAS box to create another volume for media streaming for the Apple TVs.

Looks like FreeNAS likes lots of ram. What kind of hardware are you running it on? 64 bit or 32? How much ram?
