Very informative thread! After reading the last few pages you guys had me made up my mind on the Microserver. Currently thinking of using it on unraid or freenas, would like a simple fileserver setup as if install standalone linux very troublesome to troubleshoot if got any problems.

Currently I'm running DIY server with WHS but lately it's giving performance problems software issue the usual case with windows os, after using for sometime it's time for a re-format. So this time around would like to use unix/linux instead. Plus the hardware is getting a bit old better upgrade the NAS before the whole thing KO.

Any recommendations from the gurus here?

Thanks for the help
