ISOlinear NAS/Raid drive using Raspberry PI. - Raspberry Pi Forums


this idea of cached network nas. utilizing different way of thinking.

idea behind concept use board custom version of software raid, web interface, , samba, turn ssd/hd cached network drive.

since 1 sata connector exists use powered custom usb hub grid board. , lcd monitor stats. startrek enough space add keys usb hub grid, maybe 3 x 6 usb grid. un-tagged keys added system mounts them network share separately via samba depending on settings via web interface. or can converted tagged , become apart of grid.

if configured via web interface turn segment of raid array/cache. , used mirror grown filesystem onto usb key. can grow , shrink long physical space on usb keys suffient backup/cache whats on local sata hard drive.

has 320gb 4700rpm low power sata hard drive, debian on local memory card. , 7 16gb usb keys installed, have cache/raid array of 112gb. if local drive using 50gb of documents, theres redundancy of (3) 16gb usb keys. if main hard drive fails, alarm/light sounds on lcd front panel. since critical element data survival.

use custimized raid layer, able utilize many usb key's speed cache data , reduce access times read. writing utilize system cache in ram (256mb) , hard drive writes.

webmin type web interface , debian used utilize low system resources , streamlined integration of system resources. system monitoring module, running samba, , lighthttpd, ssh, webdav interface option mirror/sync data/directory's other servers. via ftp,webdav,dropbox etc. further cloud backup options.

power supply power board, drive , powered hub integrated case (3x6 usb connectors?) & 4x 20 green back-lit lcd draw little no power. , utilize usb keys offer ssd nas or sorts.

thoughts?

might looking produce handful if theres interest in cheap nas/ssd (utilizing usb keys) in opinion usb keys being cheapest form of ssd.

i'm not sure role pi plays in setup ?
believe pi has not enough grunt manage devices , because
ethernet , usb connected 1 root usb hub.the pi features 100 mb lan.
raid sounds overkill such connection.
usb sticks seem have wildly varying write/read speeds , come in different qualities.
flash-based media solution taking account problems of limited writes , wear ?
