I've had my eye on this for a while. Looks
1) IDE drives are slow (compared to fast SATA or SCSI drives)
2) RAID5 (or RAIDZ) can greatly improve throughput (esp read
throughput for RAID5) compared to what your friend has done
3) Your friend is probably running no > than 100Mbps networking
4) that PII/PIII @ 750GHz uses a lot more power
Just a thought...
A friend of mine set up his using a regular computer, 2 250Gb ide drives
and FreeNAS (free for the download). Said it took him about 5 minutes
to set it up. That was about 6 months ago - he just uses it as if it
were another drive. The computer doesn't have to be very
