Good to know that about NASLite. I was about to drop the $30. Will try FreeNAS first. Hope I can RAID1 together 2 external USB drives.

FreeNAS trip report. I moved all my movie files from my HTPC to my main PC. HTPC running Server 2003, PC running XP SP3. Data transfer rate was 75-80 Mbps over my 100Mb LAN. Installed FreeNAS via USB key on the former HTPC. Formatted HD with UFS, mounted drive, created NFS share and SMB share, set perms to 777. Mapped drive to smb share on the main PC. Transfer rate was 35-40Mbps. What? Checked the network settings on FreeNAS tried changing from Auto-Negotiate to 100/Full Duplex. No change. WTF. Same hardware, same network, different OS. Less than 1/2 network performance. Any other ideas to tweak FreeNAS (FreeBSD) SMB share to improve performance?

Have you benchmarked the SMB throughput using NasLite yet? I'd like to see if it can beat the lovely FreeNAS throughput.
