I must have gotten really lucky then, because Samsung Spinpoints are exactly what I'm using.

some people do. I have always ran areca cards and some people have ran Samsung drives no problems while others have tried and they drop out of the raid set all the time.

ummm, i think this topic is getting a bit derailed, the main topic was "to make a cheap NAS" if someone forgot.
a bit of a good news, theres always the option of using the USB isntead :D doubt that'll have issues recognizing drives.
plus theres the software raid too.

I only used the RAID card to increase the number of SATA ports on the board. The actual RAID was done through mdadm. Maybe that's why.

In case you forgot, RAID is moderately important to NAS units and extremely valuable if you don't regularly back up your data. And performance vs. cost of processors is very important when picking what to use.

Slight re-derailing...
Does it make more sense to turn an old PC into an NAS or just to build it from scratch with cheap parts? I mean for instance, an older tower with a P4 (upgrading the proc and other components if necessary?) vs setting up a cheap dual core AMD as suggested by someone on the earlier page.
Reason I'm asking is more just a theoretical question... Since I see to recall reading quite a bit about many users having P4 HTPCs.
Would it make more sense to turn the P4 into an NAS and build a new HTPC vs Keep P4 as HTPC and build a NAS?
The builds I was looking at were all dual cores and stuff like that.
