So I have been trying to read up on components to build a SFF NAS to replace my current NAS which resides in a tower case.
I really have wanted to do this: http://www.mashie.org/casemods/udat2.html
But when reading reviews for the Thecus N4100 and N4100+ (didn't find any helpful reviews for the N4100+) I noticed Tomshardware.com Review on Thecus N4100 with a 600 MHz ITX motherboard was stating it was not powerful enough for large data transfers.
My maximum transfer might be a 8GB movie, and I wish to stream a movie (with no other traffic on the network). That is teh maximum demand I wish to get out of my little NAS.
I have a dedicated box right now and it does the job well, but not great and takes up double the space.
Any suggestions or links to more literature on ITX motherboards and RAID 5 systems hope be a huge help!!! Thanks again guys for helping me
