Hi,
What is the best NAS software as I am about to build my first NAS box!!
I will be starting with only two 1/1.5t HD's to start but will expand as/when needed. What software option would be best bearing in my a long term expansion plans.
Please note i would like some kind of RAID for data security.
Freenas:
I have been looking at freenas that looks great but if the HD's are configured in RAID it seem difficult at add additional drives, is this true?
unRaid
This looks very easy to add extra drives but they do charge for additional content and if my drives excess there limit i will have to pay
Would greatly like you opinion/experiences on using these two system so I can make up my confused mind!
