Low budget file server or NAS

[IisGamer]

Hi all!

Just wanted to start a discussion on what parts for a pretty cheap file server or NAS. I am pretty good with hardware myself but I want to see what the commuity thinks. Leave your thoughts!

Cheers,

That's what I had planned for my own NAS if I ever get around to building it. May change it to an ITX build along the line before actually building. It would just be me and people I know using it, so it doesn't need much more power, cores or any additional NICs for faster speeds. Not like I'd be transferring huge files.

I will definately look into it. Yeah when you get a low power, consumer grade NAS, you're not expecting to transfer huge files. Thanks for your response. This thread will stay open for other's opinions.
