Steve Streza has built a storage box using FreeNAS.
Using RAID-Z2 which is based on a technology called ZFS, (a modern file system that supports "storage pools") and 8 3TB Seagate hard drives, Steve takes us through installing the OS, sharing your data, keeping the box healthy and how to extent FreeNAS with Plugins.
A good read for those of you after using something different for a storage server.
Using FreeNAS for Storage is a post from: MS Windows Home Server - Your Personal Guide to Microsoft Windows Home Server!
