At the moment I have a couple of 6 bay Promise SmartStors. I get about 60MB/s transfer speed over the network. But given the age of the units I'm thinking of moving over to something else. I had a feeling that if the hardware went down I might be screwed. So I'm liking the idea of software based ie FreeNAS/UnRaid et all.
Anyone got recommendations on which and what hardware? Due to constant upgrades I do have a bunch of 2/3/4/6/8TB WD NAS drives which makes UnRaid seem like a good idea.
