[SGVLUG] Storage - NAS / SAN, ZFS - what's your experience with them?

[Dan Buthusiem]

I was wondering something similar. Fry's has AMD E350 CPU/mobo with 4/6
sata for $80-$100. Figured at that price *I'd* build myself a nice low
power storage cluster. I dread having everything in 1 machine, so I figure
having 3 machines "raided" over my network would be good / fun.
