Hi There, Sorry if this is a bit 'Off The Topic' discussion. I am planning to get fileserver dedicated for iSCSI.
My option is to grab Thecus N4200 or to build OpenFiler with any Duo-Core CPU, >1G RAM, RocketRAID 644 controller, and other basic PC stuff. I have been googling to compare OpenFiler vs FreeNAS (winner for me: OpenFiler) and cheap iSCSI capable barebone NAS from Thecus vs QNAP (winner: Thecus N4200) When it come to comparing between OpenFiler vs Thecus N4200, I can not get any goodies from google. I used OpenFiler for a bit, creating 2 or 3 iSCSI target, share folder, but only for short time, just for a fun. My concern: - HDD realibility check (live error check, reporting when one of the HDD faulty/bad sector/etc) - RAID/iSCSI re-sizing when I add another HDD - Easy to maintain So, if anyone expert can give me a light, would be much appreciated. For a started, I will only go with 3x2TB HDD for either option, to be RAID-ed as RAID5 Deeply Thanking you in advance, Phillipus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
