NAS Build Idea

Former Member

Looking to see if you would do a NAS build using the Rasberry Pi and with hot swap bays that can accept 3.5" and/or 2.5" HDD's. Software could be FreeNAS. Needs to connect with gigabit ethernet to the home network.

  • This will be connecting to a gigabit network so might as well have the same on the NAS if possible. If the RPi is too slow and can't connect SATA to have multiple HDD's then something else will have to do. The Fit PC3 looks perfect for size and performance but not for the price in this project. For that price might as well go with a polished system like a Drobo. What I'm looking for ultimately is a NAS that is like the Drobo Mini and the Drobo 5n. If the Drobo Mini had gigabit ethernet it'd be perfect.
