Well…after writing my previous post on this SAN/NAS Appliance I proceeded to give it another try but starting from scratch and not using the VMWare image that they have available at their site.

This is the second part of my review which might actually extend over to a third part but I’m not sure so keep reading to see how things went this time around. :)

I'm currently in the phase of reorganizing my home network since there is currently one server that was added and I'm planning on adding more storage space. My parents aren't 100% thrilled of the whole idea due mainly to the fact that I'm spending a lot of money on this setup of mine.

I've heard of OpenFiler Network Storage OS which basically takes any server that you can install this OS on and converts it into a Network Attached Storage or NAS device that is more powerful than your average NAS device that can be found cheaply on the market. Now this isn't for everyone since it basically requires the user to build or purchase or recycle a PC or Server in order to install the software and then set it up.

This is my quick review in regards to this application and how it stands up for what I need…which is probably overkill for a home network…but then again this is what I do :)
