So, I finally got arround to assembling everything that I bought for my perfect NAS.<\/p>\n

I assembled everything in a shoebox, just for fun, looks terrific, see pics below.<\/p>\n

Everything gets held to the shoebox by cable ties, and since cardboard tears very easily I reinforced it with duct tape… ha!<\/p>\n

I’m using 2 Harddisks, 1 is a 1,5 TB Samsung 3,5″ and a 80GB 2,5″ from the former laptop of my current girlfriend, that holds the OS.<\/p>\n

I decided on using 2 HDs because I want to be able to change OS easily, and that may include partitioning the HD.<\/p>\n

So first I installed Debian 6. It worked okay, but I’m not a Linux guru, and so configuration always took more time than I felt comfortable spending.<\/p>\n

And now… I’m using Windows 8….. ha!<\/p>\n

When I first got my laptop (Lenovo X220) I wanted to install Linux. Ubuntu, or Fedora. But the battery live was half of what other people reported on Win 7. This was due to a bug in all Linux kernels past 2.6.39 (see here <\/a>and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

While researching on that topic I found out that Win7 has super energy-efficient drivers, mainly because MSFT dictates clearly hwo drivers will interface with hardware to the OEMs and hardware manufacturers. But, hey,\u00a0in some cases\u00a0monopolies can be beneficial.<\/p>\n

And since energy is a huge issue with a NAS, that’s running 24\/7, I decided to go with Windows. Also I’m much more knowledgeable with administering Windows, so that’s another plus.<\/p>\n

As for longtime running stability, I just fired it up, so I’ll let you know.<\/p>\n
