Build a Cheap and Fast RAID 5 NAS | Tom's Networking:


The purpose of this article is to build an inexpensive RAID 5 Network Attached Storage (NAS) system. I'll then compare the home-built system to off-the-shelf products to see how they compare in terms of performance. If we cut enough cost and produce enough value, we might convert some of the RAID 5 procrastinating masses into RAID 5 users.


Recently, at $dayjob, we gave up on using a Windows Storage Server based solution (with Unix for Windows services), blew the whole thing away, and rebuilt it as a Debian box. Solved all our performance and reliability issues on one fell swoop.
