Ive got an old AMD K6-2 somewhere in the basement, I was thinking of buying a sata-2 card ($30) and turning it into a NAS, since these 500GB WD Caviar ($130) disks are soo cheap, i could get a 2TB NAS for about $600.00 .
But I wanted to know is, How much horse power is actually needed to fully utilise a 100mbit transfer rate? I see these little NAS boxes for $70 which look like USB HDD enclosures but they have ethernet on them, they look like they have SoC's, so i'm guessing my 233Mhz K6-2 will be almost over kill?
