2) Any of the 12 or so Atom Mini ITX boards floating around
3) 4x 3.5" hot swap drives

This seems to sit a bit higher on the QNAP food-chain though, so Im a bit worried how much more $$$ Ill be spending (especially with the crappy Australian dollar at the moment). Can anyone tell me the US RRP for the TS-409 so i can compare?]]>Mar 28th 2010 4:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/qnaps-new-4-bay-atom-based-ts-439-pro-turbo-nas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/qnaps-new-4-bay-atom-based-ts-439-pro-turbo-nas/

I am currently working on replacing my current pieced together NAS. The current plan is to get a dedicated storage array case with room for 20 or more hard drives and run a stripped down linux distro with the main purpose to run a virtual system (not sure which one yet) and iSCSI Target since I want to share the raw discs. One of the virtual computers will then most likely run FreeNAS or Openfiler to handle the actual NAS portion of it. Then I would just add drives as I needed, make them an iSCSI target and add them to the array.

I would like to go with dedicated RAID hardware (which none of these NAS have), but it just is not cost effective, I will take the time hit to build/re-build arrays to save the money.]]>Feb 4th 2009 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/qnaps-new-4-bay-atom-based-ts-439-pro-turbo-nas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/04/qnaps-new-4-bay-atom-based-ts-439-pro-turbo-nas/

Since the TS-439 looks to have roughly the same hardware specs, I'd assume it's data rates to be similar.
Having run DIY RAID in the past, I'm not all that excited about the idea of rolling my own rig again, but at a price difference of ~$300, I'd be willing to try.
