So in my opinion, unless you're completely broke, and/or
treating this<br>
as nothing more than an educational experience, building a
NAS out of<br>
old equipment is waste of your energy.<br>

Unless you hook them up to a Raspberry Pi. That is silent,
takes very little electricity and can probably do what you
want.<br>

Raspberry Pi takes care only of the CPU/board part not the price -in
time&money, of inefficiently running a bunch of old H.D's &
there controllers. <br>
<br>
In my view the small Raspberry Pi form is less significant in this
case, though it is the cool thing in town. I would advocate an Arm
board more similar to the W.D. Book & other designs. In IL,
money wise, At less then $200 you are probably better-of just baying
it of the shelf, unless you need the flexibility of your personal
design (the education part can be done on a VM ;-)<br>
