I'm keeping a eye out for a small hard drive, 250GB or something to use as the OS drive in the NAS.  I've read it wears out USB sticks pretty fast.  At first, I couldn't get both drives to add at the same time.  To work around that, I set up a pool with one drive.  I then went back and added the second drive.  Then it was both drives added together, like I do in LVM.  Then I did the file system thing, dataset I think they call it???  After a while, I shutdown the NAS.  I got on Ebay and ordered a 1GB network card.  Everything I have is 1GB so no need getting anything faster.  It should be a lot faster and may be about all the NAS rig can handle anyway. I haven't figured out how to encrypt it yet tho.  I need to research that.  Still, progress. Dale :-)  :-)
