So I just built a new NAS so I could get some space to record TV shows on my other machines, and not be riding the ragged edge all the time when it comes to disk space in my house.
I bought a pretty pimp LSI card to go with it that makes sure my NIC remains my bottle neck and not my other PCs.
Some Benchmark Data between software RAID and hardware RAID attached, parts list below.
