Smallest NAS ever?

[unijab]

Grab this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6802F59998) and a 4TB drive.... and you now have a nano-NAS?

if that board runs linux, technically yes.

good luck getting 100mbps with that soc, let alone 1gbps

again,only if you find proper OS to run NAS with it.

FreeNAS.

FreeNAS.

have you ever try installing freenas on Arm devices?

last time I check, they still have no support or intention making it for arm or any mobile processor

It's generic - multicore 64 bit processor. ARM based architectures can be 64 bit - look at Apple's current SoCs. 64 bit and ARM based.

the idea with a NAS that small is not performance, but you get the convenience without having a high power bill that comes with constantly running a server.

There is a high chance that there is a ARM version of FreeBSD

I am pretty sure that there's an ARM version of Ubuntu.

Then router by today standard will do fine for your needs

I've already ask in Freenas forum, they didn't support ARM based processor

 

anyway, this is pretty similar with Raspberry thread

even if you desperately need something convenience but efficient, getting NUC is more wiser choice, or just use enclosure.
