    Im about to pull the trigger and put together a atom based NAS.

    Here’s my intentions: (about 350.00 on NewEgg)
          Atom 330 (b/c I wan’t the integrated gigabyte ethernet)
          2 gig ram
          2 x 1TB WD Green Drives in RAID 1 mirrored config
          Ubuntu Server

    Im essentially following these guides from Small Net Builder:

    I am planning to keep all my media on the NAS and only have the operating system on a small HDD in the HTPC.

    Is there anything I need to watch out for when using a NAS from VMC?
    What sort of throughput should I be looking for for streaming HD video?

    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
