I've used ReadyNAS appliances at home for almost 10 years. The current product line is made up of low-power Atoms. I'm running a RAID5 across 4 500G enterprise SATA drives (that should indicate how old this unit is pretty well...) I have a wired network primarily in the rack in the office at home - I absolutely would not use wireless to connect fossil to venti (fossil does *not* cope well with the connection to venti dropping). I switched over to fossil on the ReadyNAS a little over a year ago and have had really good luck; not a single crash. Performance has also been very good. It just so happens I wrote a README at the time since it was non-obvious how to set it up correctly: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/102312978/FOSSIL Cheers, Steve
