Thank you for your comments. That helps. I'm putting together a home NAS and am leaning toward FreeNAS. Someone else here mentioned waiting for FreeNAS 10, but it probably won't have any "gotta have it" features above what FreeNAS 9.3 already has. The FreeNAS Mini (not mentioned in the article) seems a bit underpowered (Atom processor) but it's a turnkey solution for $1000 plus disks. I might go that way rather than trying to screw together a box by myself.
