I've got an old desktop - with an XP licence sticker on the side that I'm looking to turn into a NAS box, with an XFX Revo64 3 port card.
What benefits are there for choosing Freenas over a Windows installation apart from footprint and cost of the OS?
I'm having a play with the freenas VM right now and it seems decent, but if I went for an XP installation (I have a spare 40Gb HDD lying around I can use) then I could use the management software that came with the RAID card?
