OK, so I've got my roll-your-own NAS up and running like so:
- Ancient Dell Dimension (headless after I got everything up and running)
- Crunchbang Linux (Debian-based)
- SAMBA
- 2 1 TB USB2 drives (amazingly, the ancient Dell has USB2 ports)
- SAMBA shares on one of the USBs
- Nighly rsync copies from one drive to the other to make a de facto RAID 1
Ain't pretty, and uses a lot more W of electricity than the Raspberry Pi-based NAS would have, but it works.
My question is: would there be any advantage to using FreeNAS (or NAS4Free) on this device vs. remaining w/Crunchbang?
