Although I have to admit that this looks interesting.

How to build your own Raspberry Pi NAS: Doing more with the NAS | TechRadar

Also looks A LOT like FreeNAS and probably has the same setup challenges. I'm not a fan of using USB drives as serious, long term storage either. Still... As a cheap exercise? Humm.....

So... for once i have some S2000 news. I have plan to ask my company's owner if i were to clean out the "shed" behind the building if i could put my S2000 in there and work on it on weekends etc so i don't have to drive to York anytime i want to work on it. I'd have to put a little bit of money into it to make sure i can lock it up properly but it would be worth it. Also, that means a buddy of mine will be able wrench on it with me, which would be fun.
