What's New?

By now I run NAS4Free 11.1.0.4 (5321).

The hardware was replaced more than once with little to no disruptions.  This is a mixed bag of recycled desktop parts, but it does the job:

CPUIntel Core i3-4130 Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 54W Dual-Core CPU BX80646I34130
MotherboardGIGABYTE GA-Z87-D3HP LGA 1150 Intel Z87 ATX Motherboard
RAMCrucial Ballistix Sport 16GB kit (8GBx2) DDR3-1600 1.5V 240-Pin 9-9-9-24 BLS2CP8G3D1609DS1S0
DVD ROMnone
PSUAntec EarthWatts Green EA-380D Green 380W
CaseCooler Master RC-600-KKN1-GP Gladiator 600 Mid Tower ATX Case with 140mm Fan (Black)
Case FanRosewill ROCF-11003 Hyperborea 140mm
Case Fan HDsRosewill ROCF-11003 Hyperborea 140mm
UPSAPC BACK-UPS ES BE550G

Hard drives are now connected directly to the motherboard - no more HD cages or add-on controller card.  Cages were confusing to me when troubleshooting HD SATA problems. I still run two mirror pools and this works well for me so far.

What's really new - my attempts to run virtual machines on this NAS box.  NAS4Free 11.1.0.4 has VirtualBox 5.2.8 with phpvirtualbox 5.2.0 as web GUI. More details in a separate post.
