What sort of NAS do you have?

I have a bunch of 2TB SAS drives that I'd like to set up as a NAS or 
something similar. I was going to use Fireball, but its SAS chip is real 
twitchy-picky and only works with random OSs when it feels like it. Have 
a couple of SAS adapters that might work better, haven't tested yet.

Problem is, thumbdrives are easy to lose, easy to corrupt, and not 
terribly reliable. If one dies, it just dies, no warning.

Good idea!

I have a Standard List of Weird Crap I Can Remember from 
not-at-all-secure-and-probably-compromised-but-who-cares, up to 
Burn-Before-Reading-Never-Written-Down. If I can't remember, it's up the 
list until I hit one. <g>
