How much cpu power would you recommend for a network attached storage? I'm planning on running linux (ubuntu or debian) with at least 4-6 hard drives in the future. I may also expand the use of it to run some basic server functions (ftp, dns, mail server, etc.) as well as serve out media to at least one computer, a laptop, and a htpc.
I was originally thinking of an i3 like the 4330, but was wondering if a lower powered solution like a celeron processor would be enough.
Thanks for the input!
