we have small network of 15 computer. we want to store data in nas box with raid configured so that it can be accessed by all users. it will be document, excel, pdf and database files. what is best solution use freenas - openfiler or setup ubuntu server with samba. these is a widows workgroup enviroment.
thanks a lot for reply. a comparison on various site states that free nas is slower open filer. how reliable is raid setup with both os. in production environment which will be more durable solution considering it will use CIFS/SMB FOR WINDOWS WORK GROUP
