While this is a very detailed answer, I was hoping that you would say that ext# was as good as ntfs for a NAS or not (ie do I really need ntfs to reach my goal?). It already seems faster and better than my NexStar NAS (~800KiB/s vs ~180) and there are mini pcie cards that have dual sata for about $30. Ive tried a 4 port and a 7 port hub from 2 manufacturers and they both don't seem like they have a driver. ie the hard drive becomes invisible. I am learning Linux and finding strange things like different commands with different distros. A month ago, I didn't even know what a distro was. If I have to I will compile my own. I am familiar with compiling ARM, 8088s, Androids, PLCs, and HMIs. But I don't want to compile it if it isn't necessary.
