Hi All
I am looking into making myself a NAS based on the NASlite 'program' from http://www.serverelements.com
So, firstly my title question - what is the smallest case anyone can recommend that will allow for say at least 3 HDDs (may not install all at once)? As this will be a new build and NASlite does not seem to need a lot of computing power to work - I think one of the VIA Epia ITX boards (air cooled) would do the biz.
This combination would make for a very quiet (I do like to fan coll my HDDs but a large 120mm slow rotation would be almost silent!) box that could be tucked out of harms way.
Lastly, is anyone using NASlite & what do you think of it?
TIA :)
