[QUOTE="Deco, post: 496732, member: 14643"] STRONGLY agree with this. Used to have a QNAP TS-100 NAS. It had a gigabit ethernet port, don't know why, never a hope of using capacity of even a 100 port, due to processor! Promised a lot, delivered little. Purchased almost 2 years ago cheap Dell Xeon tower server, about €200 (cheaper than the NAS!). Loaded Ubuntu, to see what all the fuss was about. Runs headless and using 3 HDD's - 1 for Ubuntu OS and 2 in software RAID1 for media storage. Extremely reliable and never looked back. Runs: - Samba for Windows file sharing to MediaPortal - Apache/mySQL/PHP for webserver (use for content management system for managing weblinks etc.) - Webmin for Ubuntu administration (as Ubuntu is tricky for us Windows users, despite what anyone says!)
