n00b here, but have been working with *nix flavors since 1992(ish). I understand that a computer is only as fast as it's slowest component (bottleneck), and I also understand that (obviously) more overhead (from NAS usage/utilization) needs greater server specs, however alot of the canned NAS appliances (D-Link, QNAP, Buffalo) seems to be using in the neighborhood of 800mhz-1.2ghz CPUs and minimal RAM.
So, my question for everyone is this.
What are the specs for your FreeNAS rig, and what's your throughput look like?
Reading on the forums here, I've seen everything from a monster rig to what I would consider very minimal systems. I'm trying to determine how much of a bare bones FreeNAS server I can build and still stay in a solid/under utilized operating range.
