[QUOTE="Kefner, post: 337733, member: 62207"] Just my 2 cents. I'm currently running a NAS server. I current only have some of my scrap drives in there (mix of 160 & 200+ drives). However it is a FreeBSD based server that supports many types of features. It doesn't require a lot of hardware to run. It supports WOL (as long as the hardware supports it too) and you can remote shut down. Plus you can run software RAID, and choose when then harddrives sleep. It's pretty robust. Linky : [url=http://www.freenas.org]FreeNAS[/url] I decided to go this route to keep the heat down in my mediacenter, and not to have the drives on my mediacenter running constantly. Also I just as much fun setting this up as the mediacenter. -Kefner [/QUOTE]
