I highly recommend FreeNas, I turned an old Avid LANSHARE into a FreeNas and it serves data over the network about 3 times faster than it did as an Avid Unity. Make sure you run the drive array as ZFS.

Hey all - looking for recommendations on a NAS that would be a good fit for a small studio, but it would see regular use of 4-8 artists I'd say.  Doing VFX CG rendering and compositing, HD & 2k.  Gigabit ethernet.

I was looking at the Synology 1513+ or 1813+ -seem to be nice little units and I think that's my frontrunner so far.

Also looking at the ReadyNAS line or building up a FreeNAS box or something like that.

Just curious if anyone has any tips for or against anything along that line of thinking?  This will be my first NAS and I just want something that's headache free.

TIA
